Webinar topics for 2010

We are planning to continue the Third Thursday and Friends of Third Tier webinars in 2010. They were quite popular in 2009. In 2010 we’re going to expand our range of topics. Our Third Thursday webinars will happen every month until summer when we’ll take a short break, then pick up again in the fall. Our Friends of Third Tier webinars will occur as we make new friends and find worthy topics. So please mark your calendars. I think that we’re in for a great year. Below are the plans we have for the start of the new year.

January

Friends of Third Tier, Second Thursday January 14th. Dave Sobel of SMB Virtualization. Dave is going to talk about the opportunity to add high margin virtualization to your practice and the value is brings to your client. We will also squeeze in conversation on the new skill sets required to support virtualization and how our partnership can help you go forth with confidence.

Third Thursday with Third Tier, January 21st. Eriq Neale on Windows Foundation Server. What? You haven’t heard of Foundation Server? Inexpensive, no cals, up to 15 users and worth its weight in gold to your client. Eriq will discuss the technical bits of Foundation Server and suggest where it use makes the most sense.

February

Friends of Third Tier, Second Thursday February 11th. Ben Yarborough of Calyptix. Ben (and maybe some of his technical staff) will explain why a UTM (unified threat management) device is the only way to go these days. A flat firewall just doesn’t address the variety of security challenges that small business are exposed to. Ben is also a lawyer and can provide insight into the legal issues that make security even more relevant to your SMB clients.

Third Thursday with Third Tier, February 18st. TBD

March

Third Thursday with Third Tier, March 18th. Edwin Sarmiento on SQL for the SMB Consultant. Edwin is a real SQL guy and our newest staff consultant.  He’s going to help us understand what we as the SMB consultant need to know about managing SQL.
