Are your customers thinking about EBS 2008?
Timely new poll in Australian Reseller News asking partners how many of their clients have expressed an interest in Essential Business Server 2008. Check it out.
The continuing launch & interest in EBS 2008 is very much a slow burn because the solution offers so many different things to so many different customers - and thus partners need to understand the product, the processes & positioning before being able to take advantage of the opportunity.
We're certainly bullish at Microsoft Australia about this product & will be working closely with the likes of HP, Citrix & others to ensure partners have what they need to make this solution a success.
I also talk extensively with ARN, CRN & a variety of other media to help get the word out. Check out ARN's coverage of the SMB server space here, & their specific thoughts on the SBS/EBS launch here.
