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...

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 ...
