What are you doing to ready up for Windows 8?

What are you doing to ready up for Windows 8?

The most important take away from any of the WPC’s that I’ve been to, and I’ve been to a lot of them, is to listen to Kevin Turner’s message. His staff composes the best of the best in storytelling, readiness campaigns and you guessed it; resources. So it’s no surprise that RyanTech has re-tooled its office with touch screen enabled all-in-one PCs and new laptops that fully support the Windows 8 experience. We have trained our staff on the usage of Windows 8 and found many resources provided by MVPs and Bloggers that help in the transition. If you aren’t yet a partner of the ignite experience that Microsoft is putting on to bootstrap you into place so that you can support Windows 8 for your customers than be sure to look up the information on the web after the events in Vegas and Orlando.

Kevin Turner’s message was the simplest complex message from any WPC thus far. Simply put, Microsoft is all in again and they’ve got skin in the game this time. Microsoft hardware is coming out and Microsoft is pushing hardware manufacturers to deliver and deliver with quality. No more bloat ware, no more junk hardware and no more being second place to anyone, especially a fruit!

There is a time and place for all technology and Windows 8 is for the Enterprise and SMB space. Because fruit spoils.

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...
