Welcome to SPC International’s I.T. Solutions and Managed Services Sales & Marketing and Service Delivery Boot Camp!

Thank you for investing the next 2 days with our team of experts in I.T. Solutions and Managed Services sales and marketing and service delivery process improvement. Our goal is to provide you actionable strategies that will reduce your operational costs, improve your service delivery efficiencies, shorten your sales cycles and increase your revenues and profitability.

We have structured the next 2 days into the following tracks:

• MSPFoundationsSeries • CEO • Sales • ServiceDelivery • Cloud Track

During registration, you selected the most appropriate track for you to participate in. This will be the track that you will remain in for the duration of the Boot Camp – each track is designed for each session to build upon concepts delivered in prior sessions. It is for this reason we do not allow attendees to move from track to track during our Boot Camps- as this would adversely impact your training experience.

Our Boot Camp begins promptly at 7:00am each morning, with Continental Breakfast served at 6:30am in our Sponsor area. We strongly encourage you to engage with our Sponsors during breaks, lunches and evening events, as their products and services help our SPC International Members reduce costs, improve efficiencies and generate new revenue streams. We appreciate their support in helping us deliver our Boot Camps to you.

Please review your Boot Camp Program for all of the information you will need in order to receive maximum value from your attendance.

Should you require any assistance during the Boot Camp, SPC International’s staff will be managing our registration and help desk throughout the Boot Camp’s operational hours. You can also request assistance by sending email to [email protected] or contacting Keyonna Beechum at (888) 423-3157.

Your level of participation and interaction is directly relative to the benefit you will receive during the Boot Camp, so be prepared to engage with our staff and presenters as completely as possible – you will get out of it what you put into it!

P.S. - We are streaming our Boot Camp Live - If you would like others in your organization to participate remotely, have them visit www.spc-intl.com/livebootcamp

Sincerely,Gary Beechum

Effectively On-Board New Clients Through Process and Checklists to Increase Efficiencies and Client Satisfaction

This session focuses on developing and implementing an effective, efficient on-boarding process for new managed services clients. Once the decision has been made to begin service delivery for a new client, the service provider must execute an effective, efficient on-boarding process in order to meet client and end user expectations and facilitate future service. A poorly designed and executed on-boarding process will quickly erode client and end user confidence and satisfaction and increase service delivery difficulty and cost for the service provider. No matter how you slice it, this is not the way to begin a new client relationship. A successful on-boarding process begins before the decision is made to deliver services to the client.

K What is Cloud and Why is it so HOT?

“Cloud computing signals an evolution of business that is no less influential than e-business”, according to Gartner Research, who also asserts that “the very confusion and contradiction that surrounds the term “Cloud computing” signifies its very real potential to change the status quo in the IT market”.

DoyouunderstandthedefinitionofCloudcomputing?Formany,theanswerscanbemind-bogglingandtosome,evenoverwhelming.Thissessionexploresseveraldefinitions as well as various components of Cloud computing. You will learn a common language and framework from which to work while exploring Cloud solutions with your customers. As well, we will create a working definition of the Cloud from the perspective of Channel Providers as your role will be to most effectively match customer needs for specific business outcomes by recommending appropriate Cloud solution technology components.

Are your customers ready for Cloud?The Cloud is not right or appropriate for every situation or customer. How can you recognize Cloud opportunities so that you spend your time pursuing opportunities that are likely to close? How will you know if your customers are ready for the cloud?

Are you ready for Cloud?Even if you find customers that are ready for the Cloud, are you and your company ready to service them? What technical and organizational changes must you consider in order to profitably sell and support Cloud solutions?

Getting Started with CloudWhere can you turn to learn about effectively building your cloud business? There are many Cloud Service Providers in the market. How will you select the right one with which to partner? Or should you pursue the Cloud on your own?

Making money with CloudYou have decided that you want to pursue the Cloud as part of your business model. So how are you going to actually make money? There will definitely be a shift in whereyoumakemoneyashardwareandsoftwarewillshiftfromCAPEXtoOPEX.Thereisanansweranditmayrequireachangeinthewayyouinteractwithyourcustomers.

Marketing and Selling Cloud with Cloud Sales Role PlayMarketing and selling Cloud is being more consultative and educational than most IT service providers have ever been before. Because of the uncertainty and confusion over Cloud you will have to deal with more questions and objections. We will role play several sales opportunities.

Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)What are MDM, BYOD, and COPE? Why has this become such a hot topic and why now? There are many complex issues around these topics and we will highlight these issues along with some recommendations in this unsettled area.
