Zero Downtime Migrations Are Real!

Let's be honest, anyone can perform a network migration WITH downtime. You simply kick everyone off the system, put the client out of business for some period of time, and push through until you're done.

Without downtime is another story.

Without downtime . . .

• You can do network migrations during the workweek
• The client doesn't have to ever send people home because of you
• You can work when 3rd party support is available
• You don't have to pay overtime
• and Neither does the client
• You look like a hero!

Make every project a successful and profitable project!

Another great binder project! This is an E-book package on project management.

Based on the best practices of KPEnterprises, this book shows you how to organize common SMB projects. We use a binder, of course!

The Super-Good Project Planner for Technical Consultants is great for managing those daily projects that just seem to get out of hand, take too long, or don't make money. Perfect as a place to start managing your next server installation.

Note: This ebook is also available as part of the Success Bundle available at SMBBooks.com.

The premise of this book is simple but powerful: The fundamental keys to success are focus, hard work, and balance. Too often, the advice we receive gives plenty of attention to focus and hard work, but very little to balance.

This great little book will help you believe that you need balance, show you the power of focus, and help you move forward with the new you -- a happier, healthier, better balanced, and more successful you.

This "Primer" is intended for anyone who wants a quick education in Storage Area Networks. While it is primarily geared to the SMB (Small and Medium Business) market space, it should be very useful to anyone who needs to come up to speed on SAN technology.

It is particularly helpful to consultants, end-users, and others who have a strong understanding of server and network technologies, but who want to get a quick education on SANs.

As a result, even enterprise technicians who are getting their first introduction to SAN technology will find it very useful. So, no matter what level you're at, this Primer is intended to give you a very straight-forward, hands-on introduction to SAN technology.

The SAN Primer for SMB was developed by Karl W. Palachuk, a successful network consultant with more than two decades of computer experience. Karl is the author of the wildly-popular Network Documentation Workbook and has been a featured speaker across the United States, the U.K., and selected locations in Europe.

We all say we need to document that network someday. Well someday is here!

The Network Documentation Workbook came out of the standard procedures of KPEnterprises, a small business consulting firm in Sacramento, CA. Karl has been a successful network consultant for more than twenty years.

The "Consultant Edition" allows you to document all of your clients' networks. You get all the forms on CD-ROM in both Word and PDF format. You can customize them for your operation, including putting your own logo on the forms.

"This workbook and the included CD are a must for the small business IT consultant.

. . .

Bottom line - you will win a customer for life when someone new comes in and they don't need to be hand-held or shown how everything works.

This book does not have any revolutionary earth-changing principles - it is just a ton of work condensed into templates so you can be very productive right away. Even if you tried to recreate some of the work by hand it would not make financial sense."

Growing your business is fun -- but it's also difficult. One of the biggest challenges is maintaining profitability. That's particularly true with projects. One- and Two-person shops have enough challenges with projects. As you grow, you have three more:

• First, the sales people have to be in sync with the tech team. You need to make sure you're selling the right services and the right projects. That means you need a sales process. We'll show you how to get started.
• Second, your sales people need to manage the project handoff to the tech team. All the promises need to be written down, measured, and delivered. Once again, a great process guarantees a perfect project!
• Third, tech team members need to be able to work together without creating rework or dropping anything. And again, you're back to having the right process.

This is NOT just another seminar. You'll walk away with proven processes and procedures to make your company more profitable as you grow!

Now, in this special bundle, you get two audio CDs, plus a third CD with all of the slides and handouts!
