Attention Small Biz Partners - Why upgrade from older versions of Office to Office 2003 Session on March 17th. Register today.

We have received many requests for this session from our Small Business channel partners, so here it is!

With the launch of Office 2003 almost 2 years ago, many customers ask why they should upgrade to Office 2003. Many of these customers are running older versions of Office, such as Office 97 and don’t see the “value” of Office 2003. We’d like to invite you to the Why Office 2003? The Many Reasons to Migrate from Office 97 webcast, sponsored by the Central Region Small Business team, which also includes information on the Office Pro Promotion which could get your customers up to $20,000 from Microsoft just for purchasing Microsoft Office Professional!
