JCC Consultancy update: First day Microsoft Office 365 Summit in Toronto Canada

Hi everyone,

Having visited the SharePoint Conference in Las Vegas last march (go here for my blog on the event), the WPC Washington last July ( go here for blog on that event) and the Office 365 Drumbeat event in Cologne Germany (click here for blog on that event)  in April, this time JCC Consultancy will do Toronto, Canada.

It is 6.00 am in the morning in Toronto and i have been awake since 3.00 am, because of a jetlag. But hey no sweat, you just get up and go to the gym in the Hyatt Regency hotel, which is right in the middle of downtown Soho and near the Rogers stadium and work out.

After the workout i got the chance to pay a visit to the 24/7 store Rabba and bought some delicious Canadian Maple Syrup.

2 hours from now that is why JCC Consultancy is in Toronto and that is to attend the Microsoft Summit Office 365. The summit is taking place in the Allstream centre building.

Tomorrow, October 9th,  JCC Consultancy will attend the Office 365 training. For the agenda of the Training, please go here

Latest update on the Office 365 summit

This morning i had a breakfast meeting with Senior Channel Marketing Manager of Microsoft HQ to introduce JCC Consultancy and to talk about the Microsoft Non Managed SMB partners market in Canada.

I also met up with Olu Abikoye, Business Technology Systems & Project Delivery Analyst, Corporate Systems at Vision Critical.

After the breakfast, the keynote was kicked off by Jason Brommet, Director Partner Strategy Partners Microsoft Canada by telling that Microsoft new strategy to be a productivity and platform organization in a cloud and mobile ready world will impact the way partners are working. He also spoke about how Microsoft is going to help Microsoft partners to better transform their current business model and help them to save costs and realize more revenue and margins.

The most impressive session in my opinion was the one presented by IDC’s Channel and Alliances Research Darren Bibby. His session was called Business Partner Success in the Era of the Third Platform and showing what is really going in the market in Canada if it comes to opportunities and threats. Darren also gave some advice and tricks on how to become a succesful Cloud partner for your customers.

After all, this summit was definetely worth while for Microsoft to visit. Hopefully everyone also enjoyed the summit as I did today. For JCC Consultancy it has been a great day.

26th September: JCC Consultancy and Microsoft Netherlands organize a second Executive Strategy Roundtable for only Founders/owners from Microsoft Non Managed Partners

Hi All,

September is going to be a very interesting month, because JCC Consultancy will organize the second Executive Strategy roundtable for Owner/Founders from Microsoft Non Managed Partners in the Netherlands. Microsoft Netherlands is facilitating the roundtable room in their Microsoft building near Schiphol Airport.

On April 22nd, JCC Consultancy had organized the first intimate Executive Strategy roundtable with Microsoft Netherlands for only Microsoft Non Managed Partners and it was a success. For more info on this roundtable please go to: http://wp.me/p44K3B-cL

80% of Microsoft Non managed partners does not attend WPC or major Microsoft events

In December 2013 and January 2014, JCC Consultancy has conducted a survey among 500 Microsoft Non Managed partners in the Benelux and one of the questions we have imposed was : Will you attend SharePoint Conference Las Vegas or WPC Washington? 80% of them answered No, because they do not have time or the budget.

Besides there are 750.000 Microsoft Partners worldwide and only 16.000 of them attend the WPC Washington and SP Las Vegas. So that means there is huge group of 700.000 Microsoft non managed partners worldwide who does not attend the events and are missing out on the latest intel and insights. And yes there are hubs and portals where they can find and look back at the sessions and presentations, but they lack time, because it is business as usual.

We work for you, while it is business as usual for you

So that is what JCC Consultancy does and makes unique and a niche-player worldwide, because our  trademark,  services and concept have been patented and are unique for the Non Managed Partners worldwide. We collect the latest and most important intel/insights and filter that and present it back to the Microsoft Non Managed Partners worldwide.

Based on survey result and other results coming from the survey, JCC Consultancy decided to organize Executive Roundtables for Non Managed Partners who did not attend the events, but still want to be inspired and updated with the latest intel/insight.

At the roundtable in April, the topics were mainly inspired by the SharePoint Conference Strategical content JCC Consultancy has gathered by attending the Executive/Business Decision Makers and Strategy sessions/keynotes at the SharePoint Conference in Las Vegas last March.

For my blogs on that event please check: https://jcccloud.wordpress.com/2014/03/17/the-week-after-the-showdown-of-sharepoint-2014-conference-in-las-vegas/

Upcoming roundtable September 26th

The upcoming roundtable on September 26th will be all about the latest intel, sessions, strategy and insights JCC Consultancy has collected at the Microsoft World Partner Conference in Washington. For our blogs of this event, please check: https://jcccloud.wordpress.com/2014/07/16/day-4-july-16-th-2014-live-update-from-washington-at-the-microsoft-world-partner-conference/

The roundtable will be seating 16 Founders/owners/CEO’S from Microsoft Non Managed Partners. Again it is going to be a intimate session where partners can share their experiences and thoughts on how their partnership with Microsoft is and how Microsoft is dealing with them as Non Managed Partners.

This roundtable is not technical, but is mainly strategically focused and not applicable for Dynamics, CRM partners.

Date : Friday September 26th 2014

Time: 12.30-16.30 p.m included lunch

Location: Microsoft Netherlands HQ , Evert van de Beekstraat 354, Schiphol

Attendee fee: Free

• 
• Microsoft Non managed MKB Partner showcase: At this roundtable a customer showcase will be presented and the showcase is about a Microsoft Non Managed Partner who decided to go from Non Managed to a Managed Partner.  What were their strategical drives and arguments to go Managed partner Status and what are the benefits and lessons learned for this partner. We will show you how JCC Consultancy has helped them to transform their business and Microsoft status.
• At this roundtable it is all about you as Microsoft Non Managed Partner and JCC Consultancy and Microsoft would like to hear from the attendees what their challenges and problems are from Microsoft Non Managed Partners in terms of Strategy, Sales, Marketing and Delivery.

JCC Consultancy offers you to become a member of the International Community Microsoft Non Managed SMB Partners for a very low anual fee.

According to a independent survey we have conducted in December and January among Microsoft Non Managed SMB Partners, 90% pointed out that they will not attend the SharePoint Conference in Las Vegas and World Partner Conference in Washington. Based on these results, JCC Consultancy has created a special offer for those Microsoft Non Managed SMB Partners who did of will not attend these events, but still want access to all Executive and Strategy sessions.

Furthermore, we want to create a new community for Microsoft Non Managed SMB Partners worldwide. Our goal is to have 3000 Microsoft Non Managed partners to become member of this community by the end of 2015. With that size we will be a strong community with a strong voice to provide Microsoft Corporation with the right feedback so Microsoft can adjust their strategy and plans for the Microsoft Non Managed SMB Partners.

Live update Executive session March 4th 2014: Melanie Hohertz: Cargill: Real-world challenges and value in introducing enterprise social.

10:45-12.00 :Melanie Hohertz: Cargill: Real-world challenges and value in introducing enterprise social.

The reason why i picked this Executive session is because a customer show case is going to be presented and I think the best way to inspire attendees and C-level members is to give them insight in a customer show case how you can make your company more efficient in terms of  Implementing enterprise social in your workplace, or considering it to help drive business value? This session offers a strategic, candid overview of Cargill’s experience since launching Yammer Enterprise in August 2012. The presentation will cover key elements fueling network growth, engagement, and success in the context of a global company. We’ll share the real-world challenges and lessons learned during implementation, including SharePoint + Yammer integration. At the core, we’ll focus on culture change, governance and realistic measurements of adoption. This session will deliver straight talk and Q&A with a passionate, practical champion of the new world of collaboration.

For live update follow me on @jeanclaudechan.

I will share with you the most important slides which I think is very interesting. If you want more information or the whole presentation let me know.
