About
Join the ITAM Review as we dive into Microsoft and Oracle on Thursday, July 29th at 14:00.
These Tier 1 vendors are key for most organisations and, as we’re entering the new financial year for them both, now is a great time to look back at the previous year – and also look ahead to what is coming. We’ll analyse their recent financial results and consider what these can tell us about the current and future direction for both Microsoft and Oracle. Knowing where they’re likely to focus and which product areas they’ll look to drive can be very useful when planning out your roadmap, negotiating renewals, considering your future strategy etc.
We’ll also be reviewing key acquisitions, news stories, and announcements (including Microsoft’s “Inspire” partner conference, “Inspire”) and discuss what these might mean for partners, customers, and the wider industry.
