WPC12 – Excitement, Accomplishment

Boarding my flight this morning on the way to WPC I recollect my two favorite moments this year. Being a guest on MPN Live was a real highlight and I can hear my own words echoing in my head. “Don’t say you’re a partner, be a partner.” The second moment was the release of “Surface” where Microsoft introduced a revolution of evolution in tablet technology. I am so excited to arrive in Toronto this evening and get things started. WPC Connect email alert notices have been attacking my inbox and are making me even more anxious to see what Microsoft has in store for us. One of my colleagues is coming up from Costa Rica so for the first time, we’re a real participant of the WPC with a presence not JUST from the USA. Top on my list is Deepak Chopra, Steve Ballmer and Jon Roskill. Kevin Turner is sure to turn our heads in a new direction and I can’t help but feel like a child in a classroom looking up to my teacher on stage and waiting for every word to fall into my ears. Cindy Bates has something special to share as well, I’m at the edge of my seat for her time on stage. If you aren’t at WPC this year – be sure to virtually be here by watching twitter hashtags #wpc12 and @ryantechinc and @ericligman where we will be doing a tweet up session on Tuesday the 10th at 12:30 Eastern

WIT - What you may not know about this phrase...

Wit is defined as a form of intelligent humor of course, however, the WIT I'm referring to is not that simple.  It's an acronym that our partner Microsoft uses alongside many other other organizations and partners throughout the industry.  This blog is all about how these "WIT" people have enabled RyanTech. W OMEN I N T ECHNOLOGY At RyanTech we've worked very hard to create an image of credibility, investment and second to none support for our customers.  Over the years we've invested time in organizations such as EO ( The Entrepreneur's Organization ), IAMCP ( The International Association of Microsoft Channel Partners ) as well as the MCC ( Microsoft Community Connections ) and participated in the Partner Engagement Board for Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference.  All of these engagements have brought value to Me as the CEO and the company as a whole however what's most important about these engagements is that it's taught me to h...

If you had an opportunity to give a room of graduates advice, what would you say?

This would be the most touching opportunity I could ever embrace.  I did not graduate college. I did NOT succeed or did I?  I did WIN and I did NOT WIN. How does one contradict ones self?  Simply through drive and love. Where do you think the name RyanTech came from? Me? Nope!  Although if I had a dollar for every time I was called Ryan I'd be filthy rich. This young man named Ryan is my son and he's done an amazing job with life.  Working summers, winters and after school time in college at George Fox University where he recently graduated with his BA and prior to that being educated at Modesto Christian School since Kindergarten. He's the best McMillen to have ever been gifted life.  He's married to an amazing woman, Cortney, who graduated from Corbin University in only three years and invested time at Oxford.  What a resume! From the day he was born I told him "You're going to college no matter what it takes" and he lived the dream of gettin...

Cutting Edge Mercedes Dealer in Gilbert, AZ embraces cloud

www.mbgilbert.com facility photo This past month has been exciting for the community in Gilbert, AZ after the long awaited opening of Mercedes Benz of Gilbert when they unveiled their amazing facility. Throughout the period of time that the dealership has been constructed we have been visiting, involved and overjoyed by what the owners Charlie and Audrey Alfano have accomplished. To our delight we have been witness on their use of Cloud Technology like Office365.   When you arrive at the dealership you'll be greeted by an amazing reception, branded water bottles and Free WiFi.  Their sales professionals have an open demeanor and are listeners unlike some of the experiences we've had in visiting similar facilities in the area. The lot is FULL of pre-owned cars and the NEW cars they have on display include AMG super-cars as well as an experience center that reminds me of the XBox displays at Microsoft Stores.  With this experience center you can listen to ...
