SCCM 2007 for Data#3 (the customer)…

I am currently blogging about my Windows 7 Deployment experience. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) 2007 is always my tool of choice for creating and deploying Windows SOEs. I’ll discuss the reasons for that in another post at another time, but for now my problem is that Data^#3 (the customer) does not yet have SCCM 2007 deployed internally. Now is the perfect opportunity to do something about that.

Data^#3 (the partner) is a member of the “Services Ready for Microsoft Partners” Program. As part of that program Data^#3 is able to deliver pre-defined service offerings focused on key customer scenarios. These offerings can be delivered independently or jointly with Microsoft Consulting Services (MCS).  “Configuration Management Optimisation” (CMO) is an offering in that program.

So, Data^#3 (the partner) and Microsoft Consulting Services (MCS) are jointly delivering a CMO engagement for Data^#3 (the customer). Confused?

The long and the short of it is, that it’s a great opportunity for all of us.  For Data^#3 the partner, we gain valuable access to an accomplished MCS consultant. Tanya is contributing wonderful knowledge and expertise to complement the existing capabilities of the consultants in the Data^#3 services team.

Data^#3 the customer will benefit from an SCCM 2007 implementation that has been architected and deployed with the combined efforts of MCS and Data^#3’s team of accomplished Systems Management consultants.

… and the Windows 7 deployment experience will be all the better for it.
