Deploying SharePoint Server? Here's a plan

InternetNews | at | by Mike

Microsoft Monday announced a new program for some of its IT services partners whereby it will pay them to provide Software Assurance customers with consulting and deployment services for Office SharePoint Server 2007.

The benefit to IT customers: If you have SharePoint Server 2007 and are a Software Assurance volume licensing customer, then Microsoft will pay partners to provide you with deployment planning services. (Software Assurance is Microsoft's subscription software maintenance program.) Microsoft describes it as "a new, partner-delivered offering designed to help customers successfully plan their deployment of SharePoint." The new service is available immediately.
