Post-launch, Microsoft Learning partners will offer free-day-long training sessions on each of these products at over 80 cities across the country. In April 2008, Microsoft will offer live online learning sessions to help developers and IT professionals across the country get skilled on these products.

"Organizations spend more than 70 per cent of their IT budgets and resources on maintaining existing infrastructure. This is clearly less than optimal and a huge drain on resources. The focus for this launch is to allow businesses to provide them with powerful tools to focus on acquiring and leveraging new capabilities, rather than straining to maintain existing infrastructure," said S Somasegar, senior vice president, Microsoft.
