The Profitable Edge with Heather Clancy

What helped your business grow last year won't necessarily drive higher sales through 2008, but how your team approaches new opportunities will make all the difference. Maintaining a profitable edge is not about seizing the buzz-du-jour, it's about how your team identifies -- and anticipates -- customer needs. It's also about discipline and collaboration. Business journalist and channel analyst Heather Clancy with the SWOT Management Group offers tips and observations for how successful VARs, resellers and integrators can keep their top-line sales growing without sacrificing profits.

Hot Storage Trends for 2008 with Greg Schulz

Hear about the latest trends and emerging technologies that solutions providers can't afford to NOT know about. Expert Greg Schulz will touch upon the latest in data protection, storage management, tiered storage, storage security, green storage and other data center and environmental issues.

Data growth opportunities with Mark Peters

Endless information growth may seem hopeless on the end user side, but it's creating opportunities for the channel. Mark Peters, an Analyst with the Enterprise Strategy Group, will review everything from 'Green' to 'Evidence Preservation' to 'Server Virtualization' and why these areas impact storage customers. Attendees will have a chance to see some of the market drivers that Enterprise Strategy Group has uncovered in its global research and how you can create opportunities within your account base.
