PLANET BECOMES MICROSOFT SHAREPOINT DEPLOYMENT PLANNING SERVICES PARTNER
SharePoint Deployment Planning Services is available now for customers with Volume Licensing Software Assurance through Planet Technologies
Germantown, Maryland –June 1, 2008 – Microsoft is boosting its channel offerings with the launch of SharePoint Deployment Planning Services, a program designed to help customers with the implementation of SharePoint. It's available now for customers with Volume Licensing Software Assurance through Planet Technologies, an SDPS certified partner.
"Customers told us they got the most out of SharePoint when they brought in a SharePoint Certified Consultant in the early stages to help with deployment planning," said Tom Rizzo, director of SharePoint at Microsoft, in a statement released Monday. "SDPS is a great matchup between our customers and our partners, because the customers win twice: They get deployment planning to help ensure the best possible results on the SharePoint platform, but also an added value for their investment in Software Assurance."
As an SDPS provider, Planet can offer customers templates for deployment, architecture design help, and support for SharePoint server farm deployment.
As one of the first Desktop Deployment Planning Services Partners in 2006, Planet already has a successful history of partnering with Microsoft to assist clients with leveraging their software assurance.
