Application Platform Optimization University

I'm heading back home today after the first leg of a European tour where I delivered the Application Platform Optimization workshop in several countries like Romania, Ukraine, Latvia, and Croatia. The APO initiative is part of the larger story of Microsoft's Infrastructure Optimization (Core Infrastructure Optimization, Business Productivity Optimization, and Application Platform Optimization). The workshop is dedicated to sales persons from both Microsoft and Microsoft Partner companies. I have to say that I had a lot of fun in this first set of countries and I had the chance to meet extraordinary people. I encourage all of you to take a look at www.microsoftio.com where you can learn a lot about IO (including APO).
