Come to the FastTrack pre-day workshop
Join us Sunday, September 23 for our pre-day workshop to learn how to plan your Microsoft Office 365 training and user adoption strategy and unleash your organization’s full productivity potential. You’ll leave with a customized plan that includes step-by-step guidance about everything from adoption best practices and creating an internal champions framework to customer testimonials and success tracking and leadership engagement. Don’t forget to bring your laptop so you can complete hands-on practice exercises.
Visit the FastTrack Booth
Whether you’re interested in migrating your email and file storage, moving files to the cloud, or connecting your current directory service to the cloud, we have the right people to answer your questions at the FastTrack booth on the Expo floor. Our booth is located at the center circle next to the Modern Workplace booth. Stop by to ask a question, or just to say hello.
Sign up for a one-on-one customer clinic
Back by popular demand, FastTrack customer clinics provide a dedicated space for you to meet one-on-one with our FastTrack experts about your specific deployment, migration, or adoption blockers. Drop by our booth to inquire and request a conversation with someone with expertise in FastTrack for Microsoft 365, Azure, or Microsoft Dynamics 365.
