Microsoft today began to realign its Enterprise & Partner Group (EPG) sales teams in the United States as a part of significant investments planned over the next fiscal year. The realignment is designed to help Microsoft meet customer demand for a superb local relationship, access to industry-specific expertise, and deep technology advice. To support the initiative, Microsoft will increase the size of its U.S. sales force, adding up to 10 percent new enterprise sales and product specialist positions nationwide.
