How to make money documenting networks! We all know we "should" document everything. How do you do it profitably and repeatedly so you can squeeze the highest margins from the rest of your business?
Let's assume you're already using an agreement of some kind. Learn how to fine-tune that agreement and take it to the next level. As you fine-tune your managed service offering, your service agreement needs to keep step.
Open Forum on Managed Services, service agreements, NOC operations, outsourcing, the future of technology, etc. Whatever the group is up for.
We all work projects. But do we all work them profitably and efficiently? Whether you're 100% managed service or just getting started, come and learn the most important elements of keeping project labor on the "billable" side of the ledger.

The Network Migration Workbook
About the Book:
The Network Migration Workbook gives you everything you need to migrate a Windows network. It won't fit in your back pocket, it's on full letter size paper and it's almost 600 pages. But it definitely has everything you need. Karl and Manuel Palachuk start with a discussion of the entire process so you see the big picture. The authors talk about the scope of work and how critical it is to your internal processes and your relationship with the client. Next, they introduce the pre-discovery process. That means making a list of all the things you need to discover so you really understand the project. After the pre-discovery is complete, you can quote the project. They lay out a process based on 10+ years of SBS Migration experience. The book divides the migration into seven distinction stages.
