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.

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.

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.

82% of Microsoft Unmanaged SMB Partners will not attend the WPC 2014

Last December and January 2014, JCC Consultancy has conducted a survey among 500 Executives/Owners of Microsoft Unmanged SMB Partners in the Benelux and one of the questions imposed was:

Are you going to attend the WPC 2014 Conference?  

82 % answered: ” No, i will not attend the WPC 2014 Conference, but I do want to be updated with the latest developments and updates during the conference”.

The result was an eye opener for us, but also a very interesting opportunity for JCC Consultancy,  because this figure shows that most of the attendees at the WPC Conference are mostly Microsoft Managed Partners and  not Unmanaged SMB Partners.

Special platform for Business Decision Makers and owners of Microsoft Unmanaged SMB Partners worldwide

So JCC Consultancy decided to launch a special platform/site (you can call it a interactive live Blogsite) called JCC Cloud , which is only focused on providing information in terms of Strategy, Sales, SharePoint, Office 365, Windows Azure, Cloud to solely Business Decision Makers or owners of Microsoft Unmanaged SMB Partner worldwide.

What can you expect from JCC Consultancy during the WPC 2014 event?

After JCC Consultancy conducted the survey and presented the figures, we were approached by Microsoft Unmanaged SMB Partners and they wanted to hire JCC Consultancy to collect relevant information in terms of Executive and Strategy at the WPC 2014 in Washington.

Real live information on Strategic and Executive level

So you as an owner or business decision maker of Microsoft Unmanaged SMB Partner who is not able to attend the WPC 2014 event in Washington, can stay home in your country and expect from JCC Consultancy the following:

1. JCC Consultancy will solely visit Executive/ Business decision makers sessions. There are over 400 sessions.
2. JCC Consultancy will blog live daily during the event from Sunday July 13th till Thursday July 17th , via our JCC CLOUD platform during all Executive sessions we will attend;
3. JCC Consultancy will collect all relevant and interesting Customer Showcases presentations and white papers and for Microsoft Unmanaged SMB Partners who are interested in this intelligence, you can contact me on info@jccconsultancy.com to order relevant white papers or presentations.
4. JCC Consultancy will also give you an impression of Washington by taking pictures and movies at the event and during the sessions and share relevant pictures or movies on our platform JCC Cloud.

We help Executives and owners of Microsoft Unmanaged SMB Partners who are staying at home

I hope you have a good overview of what JCC Consultancy is trying to do with these activities in order to help, support, advice Owners and Executive of Microsoft Unmanaged SMB Partners who are not able to attend this event.

Follow us via  JCC Cloud to be the first Unmanaged SMB Partner who is staying at home, but still get live and updated information/intel on a Executive/Strategic level.
