Look at the deal that just landed in my inbox. I just had to share this one.
If you have been on the fence whether you should join MSPSN or not, this deal makes it a no brainer.
You get the benifits of Amy’s hard work building this organization and a great deal on the best imaging software on the planet (IMNSHO) !
At the recent MSP Revolution conference, many of you asked StorageCraft to once again make the $995 technicians’ license for ShadowProtect IT Edition available to the MSPSN group.
We have taken that feedback to heart and will extend this offer to all MSPSN members through the end of September 2008. To make the offer even better this time, members who take advantage of the 72% discount will be locked in at the same price for all subsequent years renewals.

SBS-Rocks,
In addition, StorageCraft has also reached a partnership agreement with MSPSN for its MSP program.
This agreement offers the following benefits to MSPSN members:
Members receive the first month of their StorageCraft ShadowProtect subscription free for an unlimited number of machines. This 30-day period begins once the product is registered and is in addition to the 30-day trial period that StorageCraft currently offers. Essentially, MSPSN members that join can have customers up and running for 60 days before MSP license fees are incurred
Also, MSPSN members are not subject to the same minimum requirements as other StorageCraft MSP partners. Contact MSPSN directly to take advantage of the StorageCraft MSP purchasing program.
If you have specific questions about this offer, you can contact Brandon Fabert, StorageCraft Business Development Manager, at Brandon.fabert@storagecraft.com (801) 545-4741
Storage Craft is working hard to provide solutions for the SMB MSP. Take advantage of this deal today!

Apparently someone at Verizon read Vlad’s Blog and the FollowUp and found out he bought an iPhone, what other possible explanation could there be for THIS MESS, OK maybe just a few Galaxies were out of alignment this morning, looks like whatever it was has been corrected now.

That’s right, even though you hemmed and hawed it is still not too late. Seems Harry did battle with the calendar and lost, so you win. The deadline for early bird registrations has been extended until end of day 9/8/2008
Just a quick note from our friend Jeff, I am sure he knows he is in all our thoughts this Labor Day.
Hi Gang,
This will no doubt sound odd, but we decided to remain in New Orleans, at least until the storm has passed. I want to assure everyone that if I thought our situation and circumstances were not safe with a reasonable margin, we would not be here.
On a technical note, I moved MX records to be managed by Vlad so my email will be cached, but it’s possible that I will be down for email communication for a period of time (24 hrs) after the storm passes.
We expect to lose power, get some rain and wind, it’s pretty much a given. We are not in the area expected to get the maximum winds from the storm. Don’t assume the worst, we are in a good area by pretty much every definition today other than it’s in Louisiana. :)
Well home state boy anyways. Funny I had to move across the US to make friends with a fellow native Californian. Check out Mark speaking on outsourcing IT in the video below.
If you missed the live meeting traing series for SBS 2008 you can watch the recorded versions.
Here is a list, have patience it takes forever once you click one of these links until you get to the actual recording, but it is well worth the wait. Once they start they are fine and you will learn a lot.
HaNote: when you get to wespal05 which is actually part 4 use the low res version, the hi res verion is missing the slides, the rest of them play fine in ri res.
So the tease campaign is over, it is time to get down to the nuts and bolts. Ready for partnering 2.0, Vlad lays out his vision for the future of the Technology Business and how he can help you not only survive, but thrive in this new and exciting space. Pour yourself a cup of coffee and set aside a few minutes to digest this POST, he is going to make you money even if you fight him all the way :>)
