An Introduction to Office 365
 
Presented by Butch Adams
 
Could Office 365 be the “Killer App” for the cloud? This high level view of the Office 365 package will make it obvious how the complexion of your IT department will change forever. Microsoft have put three of their most powerful collaboration tools into the hands of even the smallest offices, so let’s check out the new possibilities!
 
Before hanging his shingle as an IT consultant in January 2011, Butch amassed over twenty-five years of Systems Engineering experience in the defense and private sectors. He implemented some of the first PC-based networks for the Navy in the eighties, wrote software for automated electronic test equipment, and has expertise in IT department resuscitations, security remediation and platform migrations.  Butch is Microsoft-certified on Exchange, SQL Server, Windows XP, Vista, 2003 Server, SharePoint and Dynamics SL and GP.  His primary focus is providing start-ups and small businesses with excellent IT solutions that help protect and manage their intellectual property. Butch also provides IT consultative, training and design/installation services.
 
Take Your Database to the Cloud
 
Presented by Mike Lawton
 
This session will provide a whirlwind overview of SQL Azure.  We'll look at the architecture, available sizes and pricing, tooling, feature support, limitations, management, and security.  We'll also discuss what it takes to move your existing SQL Server database(s) to SQL Azure.  Finally, we'll take a look ahead at the SQL Azure roadmap.
 
Mike Lawton is Manager of Software Engineering for DaProSystems, a Public Safety Software company headquartered in Roanoke, Virginia.  He’s a self-taught, polyglot, “why not” developer with 10 years experience building solutions on the .NET Framework.  His current projects cover the spectrum of desktop (WPF), server (Windows Services, WCF), mobile (Android – Java & Mono), web (ASP.NET MVC), and cloud (Azure).  You can find him on Twitter at https://twitter.com/#!/malawto
