Come spend a day with us to explore Windows Azure™ – Microsoft’s platform for building and deploying cloud based applications – from a real world point of view! During this event, we’ll review critical lessons Microsoft IT has learned migrating internal line-of-business applications to Windows Azure™.

Well, it’s Partner Day here at Convergence today, and the GP team has arrived almost in one piece!  There were some flight “issues” out of Fargo yesterday which left some of our team scrambling to get here.  Flights (and in some cases car rides) to and through Minneapolis, Atlanta, Memphis or Houston were all part of the journey here…but we made it.   In just under an hour, Kirill will deliver the opening keynote for Partner Day, and then the GP team takes the stage for our Partner General session.  Should be a fun and info-packed session! To those of you joining us in New Orleans this week, WELCOME!  To those of you not here…WHY aren’t you here?!  Seriously though, we’ll try our best to keep you GP Insiders not here as up-to-date as possible throughout the week.  Stay tuned and we’ll catch up later… AndyW
