Our authors deserve a standing ovation for delivering high-quality, relevant content that you’ll find in this year’s Microsoft white paper. Many thanks to Kara Portwood of Armstrong Teasdale LLP, Vice President of ILTA’s Microsoft Peer Group, for riding herd on the project. She provided direction to me and Microsoft ­­— no easy task — in creating a great lineup of topics.

We lead with Microsoft’s “insider” look at Office 2010, accompanied by true tales of early adoption and great advice for your own deployment. We have various flavors of SharePoint observations, implementations and speculations. Cloud computing goes under the microscope in comparing Microsoft’s offering to Google Apps; and a Microsoft guru gives us an overview of the xRM framework in boosting Microsoft Dynamics CRM. We close out with some top secret “hands on” tips for configuring Windows 7.

With expert guidance, making the leap is easy.
