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...

Microsoft Partnering with Dominion for DMX system

When the rumors became reality this morning about Dominion releasing a DMS at NADA this year I was delighted!  I had multiple people email me, call me, tweet and even text me asking if we knew about the "BIG NEWS!" and they all asked how I feel about it. And then I read Ralph Paglia's post.  What an absolute pollution of the industry some posts have become and this one in my humble opinion tops the list as the most poorly written blog post in history.  If you're going to get all emotional and sprinkle the internet with your bathroom opinions, do it there.  Why would I say something this bold?  Allow me a moment to explain the reality of what is going on instead of the garbage you might read elsewhere. Microsoft doesn't build DMS systems, they empower their partners who have earned Microsoft's respect.  The relationship between Microsoft and Dominion is simple, Dominion is a member of the Microsoft Partner Network.  This means that Do...

When Partners Partner

* When Partners Partner, great things happen.                Such is the case for RyanTech and eLeaderTech. Microsoft Partner eLeaderTech, located in Salt Lake City, UT had been developing a product called Executing the Standards, a.k.a. "ETS",  for over 3 years.  In their attempt to build out the software in the .Net framework as well as many other third party objects, the system began to take a road of its own in the sense that the software almost seemed to have a mind of it's own.  Due to the many different programmers and companies involved in the buildout over the years, the code had become unmanageable and the software suffered a potential self destruction. Enter RyanTech, another Microsoft Partner that had been providing ETS with Data Services through its API for a product called DMSi.  The relationship between the Founder of eLeaderTech, David Ibarra, and RyanTech's Founder, Kevin McMillen started to bl...
