Microsoft Exchange 2010 is here and just in time for the new decade of Cloud Computing where most IT shops will need to do more with less.  Exchange 2010 rises to the challenge by offering value propositions to large and small public entities while at the same time increasing essential messaging, collaboration and compliance features.  Come to this interesting session to learn how deploying Exchange 2010 can help your organization.

Microsoft Windows 7

Come on out and learn why there is so much "buzz" about Microsoft's newest operating system and hear about its features and benefits.  Learn how Dell can help you to best plan strategically for this migration and make this a seamless project.
