Executive Corner
Well it was a very hectic but inspiring week!

Tech•Ed Europe was a great success! Our alliance with Windows Magazine in Europe was announced formally at the Best of Tech•Ed Awards banquet to great fanfare and circumstance. The Culminis European Alliance Council was formed and met for the first time. The Members (Arie Slob – Malta, Bart Martens – Netherlands, Renaud Comte – France, Ivan Riservato – Italy and Andreas Tsouchlaris – Greece) provided tremendous support, ideas and positive enthusiasm for the Culminis effort in Europe!

Thank you gentlemen for your time, commitment and hard work to make this historic meeting a reality.

The event was very well attended and the facility was tremendous. Thanks to Windows Magazine for working with us and providing booth space. We were delighted to be hosted by our global partner.

Thanks to Microsoft for the support, assistance and help that was provided to bring the new council together!
Over the next few weeks, the Council will be working hard to provide us with feedback on the best way to move forward in Europe. Working with Microsoft and other partners, we will be building a solid IT PRO service organization which will begin bringing IT Together in Europe!
Our growth continues at an unprecedented rate and shows no signs of slowing. We are building systems and programs to handle the growth and services to provide top quality support and assistance to IT PRO groups around the world. It is a tremendous undertaking and a job that takes huge effort and time but can yield equally tremendous rewards to the IT PRO community, their leaders, solution providers, corporations, educational institutions and the community at large! 

This is a major milestone in the evolution of Culminis which has truly launched us in to the global arena. While many may see peril and insurmountable obstacles in such an undertaking, I see a landscape filled with fabulous potential. The opportunities for raising the quality of life for IT PROS, their families and the community in which they live are inspiring.

I invite you to seek out these potentials where you are. Work with the Culminis team to discover these potentials within your community, your organization and yourself.

Together, let’s make a difference!
