SBSC PAL

Microsoft Australia has chosen Hilton Travis of Quark IT as the 2008-09 Small Business Specialist Community Partner Area Lead (SBSC PAL).  Hilton follows on in Dean Calvert's footsteps.

A quote from Robbie Upcroft, the Microsoft Australia Product Manager for SMB Servers, when announcing this decision:

"An active member of the Brisbane SBS Users group & vocal contributor to the global SBS forums, Hilton was selected for his passion, knowledge of Microsoft SMB solutions & blistering honesty when it comes to providing feedback.

I understand that some of you may not have heard of the SBSC PAL program before & so an overview is located here: https://partner.microsoft.com/global/40011087?PS=95000124. In summary though, it is:

· A Microsoft Corporate program designed to foster better relationships between SBSCs & the wider Microsoft SMB / Partner teams

· A way for SBSCs to channel feedback through to Microsoft, and for us in turn to hear a rolled-up summary of issues

· A 12 month appointment with the PAL being nominated by Microsoft

I would expect him to be a rather passionate, vocal representative of the community on all things SBSC – the good, the bad & the ugly. Amongst other things he will be involved in quarterly conference calls, meet the local Microsoft partner executive team & participate in feedback sessions with the MS Corp owners of the SBSC program at the Worldwide Partner Conference in Houston in July."
