Your route to success starts hereI’d like to start by thanking you for your commitment to the partnership with Microsoft and especially in your time in attending the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference 2015.
WPC is an incredible place to connect with other partners and Microsoft, as well as hearing about our vision for the future and how you can discover new opportunities for your business.
