Microsoft Premier Support Series:

“Get Healthy, Stay Healthy”

As a company grows, its information technology infrastructure must also grow, typically becoming more complex, more costly to maintain, and subject to continually increasing demands. Often, the IT infrastructure does not align well with strategic business needs, making it difficult for the organization to realize the full value of its technology investments.

In this edition of the Microsoft Premier Support Get Healthy, Stay Healthy Series, we’ll discuss how Microsoft applies the concept of Infrastructure Optimization to strategically and systematically move our capabilities from a reactive mode to a more mature proactive approach, provide examples of how the Operations Strategic Review leads to a strong continuous service improvement strategy, and how leveraging Microsoft’s Catalog of Proactive Services will help achieve healthy IT operations, lower IT costs, improve systems availability and at the same time help you realize positive business impact.

We invite you join us and talk to other Microsoft customers and the Microsoft Services team to learn more about best practices in the following areas:

• Microsoft Premier Proactive Services Catalog
• The value of Proactive Services and Forrester Research Premier Proactive ROI
• Microsoft’s Infrastructure Optimization Model and two-year roadmap for services improvement
• Manage costs and execute on service improvement projects
• Keep your business running – providing Service Level Agreements
• Deliver new Business Value to your company
• Accelerate knowledge transfer and growth

Attendees will gain valuable insight as to how Microsoft Premier Support Proactive Services enables customers to move beyond traditional, reactive support to leverage more proactive/preventative support and fully realize the potential of their IT investments.
