By Tim Gray, TMCnet Web Editor


Microsoft (News - Alert) executives will sponsor a free multi-session Response Point Seminar at Technology Marketing Corporation’s (TMC) ITEXPO East 2009 designed to help VARs and Agents identify business opportunities associated with Response Point.

 
The event, held on February 2-4, 2009, at the Miami Beach Convention Center, will provide the hands-on technical training needed to capitalize on these opportunities.
 
“Everyone interested in learning Response Point solutions and partner offerings should attend ITEXPO and these tutorial tracks,” said Richard Sprague, senior director at Microsoft Corporation. “It’s a one-stop shop, taught by the foremost experts, with detailed, practical information about how Response Point is creating new business opportunities for our partners, along with technical training needed to capitalize on those opportunities.”
 
Microsoft’s Response Point is an advanced, software-based VoIP system for businesses with less than 50 employees. It provides small businesses with advanced features such as multi-party calling, call forwarding capabilities, contact management from Outlook or the Windows Address Book, and voice recognition technology to manage calls and voice mail.
 
“ITEXPO always draws well in southern Florida, and Response Point is a perfect solution for the thousands of SMB-focused service providers who attend the show. We’re extremely pleased to work with Microsoft to deliver such a high level of free content to our attendees,” said Rich Tehrani (News - Alert), TMC President and ITEXPO Conference Chairman.
