Speaking earlier this summer about his company’s strategies for future growth, Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer cited a host of upcoming product releases – ranging from new versions of Microsoft Office to the Windows Vista and Windows Server “Longhorn” operating systems to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 – with broad appeal for business customers.
As part of its efforts to help organizations prepare to evaluate and implement this next major wave of new technologies, the company is significantly enhancing the benefits available to customers who invest in the Microsoft Software Assurance maintenance offering. Microsoft senior executives, partner representatives, customers and industry analysts outlined the details of these new and expanded Software Assurance benefits during a global webcast hosted by group Vice President Kevin Johnson. The webcast will air today (Sept. 15, 2005) at 12 midnight, 8:00 a.m., 12 noon and 6:30 p.m. Pacific time, and will be archived for on-demand viewing at http://www.microsoft.com/licensing.
