Microsoft Hosting University Winter 2011 Newsletter

Welcome to the Winter 2011 edition of Microsoft Hosting University News! The new calendar year is recently upon us and SPLA momentum is already in high gear. Please read this newsletter, click through our portal modules, and share it with your SPLA partners. Together, you will learn how to adopt and deploy all of the latest SPLA resources designed to help you and your collection of partners build your businesses with relevant solutions related to SPLA and to the Windows Hosting platform.

When there’s a SPLA product update or an important migration, Hosting University provides the timely information, resources and knowledge needed to help you prepare for the change and to seamlessly adopt the changes within your organization. For example, when Office Communications Server was replaced in SPLA, Hosting University provided product features on the new Lync Server. Also, have you heard all the buzz about WebMatrix? This revolutionary development tool makes developing Web sites easy and can actually help drive new hosting business for SPLA partners! Hosting University has published all the details on our WebMatrix module. And when you need to locate the latest version of the SPUR, you can easily find a link right on our Hosting University’s Home page.

We now boast over 140 assets – and best of all, the information is located at one centralized portal which you can access without having to log in or having to remember a password. And with our optimized search feature and a comprehensive sitemap that lists all of our resources, finding information has gotten even easier.

There’s an easy way to share the power of Hosting University with your SPLA partners. Send your partners a link to our tutorial which provides an overview of how to navigate and locate resources on the Hosting University site at Hosting University Quickstart .

Also, remember to include Hosting University in your orientation and on-boarding processes with your new SPLA partners. And integrate Hosting University into your communications with your SPLA partners. We can even supply you with a press kit which includes our Hosting University banner and messaging that can be customized to your particular audience for your newsletter.  Is there a specific product-related topic that your SPLA partners are asking about? Use the Hosting University Contact Us page to suggest new resource topics and to request a press kit!
