Use Microsoft subsidy $ before 2008 to migrate your servers to VI
Yep. It’s a shameless plug for my company. Regardless, I thought it was worth letting everyone know about these promotions from Microsoft before the year ended. Go crazy and implement a new server infrastructure on VI3 with your favorite solutions provider.
The following is from an email I received. I also have created a Promos page with this info.
Have you recently purchased Microsoft Office, SQL or Windows Server? If so, keep reading as you may have some free services to claim.
Microsoft has 3 separate promotions going on right now that allows customers who purchase certain Microsoft licenses through the Open License program (no Select or Enterprise Agreements) to get “subsidy $$” back from Microsoft that can be used to pay for purchases of services or products provided by a partner who is a member of the Microsoft Partner Program, like Optimus Solutions.
EVEN IF YOU DID NOT BUY SOFTWARE FROM OPTIMUS SOLUTIONS – you can still get free services from Optimus. You may have purchased software from a non-Microsoft partner, or from a website, like CDW.
