Communicating effectively with your SPLA partners can sometimes be challenging – especially if your audiences are diversified and they are not all exclusively speaking English.  Clearly, effective communication is essential for bottom line results, for both you and your SPLA partners.

To better serve, educate and inform your SPLA partners in the fast growing Chinese market, Microsoft has launched the Chinese language version of Hosting University.  By extending a Chinese version of the site to your constituencies, you’re helping them access the latest Windows hosting technical, marketing and licensing resources.  This platform will help your SPLA partners attract new customers and distinguish themselves as Windows hosting solutions experts.

Whether your SPLA partners are new to Windows hosting, or an established company expanding their hosting offerings, Microsoft Hosting University is designed to guide Chinese technical staff and decision makers from inception through expansion in their native language.  By utilizing the content and assets within Hosting University, your SPLA partners can gain competencies with Microsoft hosting solutions enabling them to offer solid Windows-based hosting solutions to their customers.

To facilitate the adoption of the content by your SPLA partners, the Chinese version includes translations of the Hosting University site including the Build, Manage and Scale spheres, along with ad banners, the marketing section, case studies and the contact form.

Utilizing CodeIgniter as the frame work, the Hosting University Chinese version is developed in PHP on Windows with Silverlight as the presentation layer, all running on the Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V / IIS / SQL Server platform.  Running PHP on Windows and hosted within Applied Innovations’ Dynamic Datacenter, this Microsoft sponsored web portal was built with a clear focus on building, managing, and growing SPLA business within Chinese speaking regions.

In summary, the Chinese version of Hosting University makes Windows hosting resources available to a whole new audience and allows for improved communications with your SPLA partners.  Please share this tremendous resource with all of your downstream SPLA partners seeking localized, Chinese resources.
