Free SQL Server Training for Sage Partners: Irvine CA (2/17,18) and New York (2/23, 24)

February 4, 2010 by Wayne Schulz

A little birdie just alerted me to a free two day Microsoft SQL training course available to Sage Business Partners free of charge.

The course is being held February 17 & 18, 2010 in Irvine California or February 23 & 24, 2010 in New York City. Registration is completely free though as of February 4, 2010 at 3pm EST there were only 16 free seats remaining in California and 20 in New York.

The deadline to register for the Irvine classes is 2/14/10 and for New York it’s 2/18/10.

From what we know this training is a requirement for certification on MAS 200 SQL (expected to be re-released in Q4 2010) and certainly handy for any consultants working with Sage MAS 200 EES which uses SQL for the SageCRM portion of the product.

How can you go wrong with two days of free hands-on technical training?

Here’s the course description:

Sage and Microsoft’s SQL Server Team are joining forces together to offer Sage most valued partners, a unique opportunity to take their SQL Server skills to the next level and grow their business.

Understanding the SQL Server administration and management is critical for successful implementations of Sage products in a SQL Server environment. In this course, the most important aspects of working with SQL Server will be covered during a two day workshop that includes practical experience via hands-on-labs. The course covers installing, configuring and managing SQL Server, explains how SQL Server indexes work, shows how to read execution plans, describes how to perform basic performance tuning and diagnostics and provides guidance on planning for high availability options such as clustering, mirroring and log-shipping.

Here’s how Sage Business Partners can sign up  (login is required)

First, login to Sage Partner University here.

Next, I was only able to locate the course through a search – but you may be able to follow this link to go direct to the SQL registration page. (Update: It looks as if sometimes this direct link brings you to a search page instead of the course – simply search for the keyword SQL and product line Sage MAS90/ MAS200. The second result – course # MS90611 Sage SQL Server Training should appear for $ 0).

If the link above doesn’t work, simply search for the class using the steps below:

Free Turbotax Business 2009

January 4, 2010 by Wayne Schulz

Intuit has a special free version of their Turbotax 2009 for Business. Although this version is only for businesses (it will NOT work for individuals or sole proprietors filing a “schedule C” on their 1040) it’s still a relatively hot deal considering Amazon sells the full version for $95.

Prior year data won’t automatically transfer (probably one of the reasons this is free) making this version primarily for new Turbotax users who would like to get a free fully functioning version to test on their current year data.

Verizon Droid and Eris Buy One Get One Free This Weekend

December 3, 2009 by Wayne Schulz

If you are in the market for a new smartphone keep an eye on your local Verizon store this weekend (December 4 to December 7). If rumors are true they’ll be having a BOGO (aka Buy One Get One Free) sale that will allow anyone purchasing either the Droid or Eris to also get a free device.

Update: The BOGO offer is only allowing a free Droid Eris and not a buy one Droid and get one Droid – you can only buy a Droid and get an Eris free.

Naturally they expect you to enter into a 2 year service agreement for each line. And data costs add $30 per smartphone to any family plan.

Still, this is not a bad overall deal. Presently the Verizon stores sell the Droid for $299 less a $100 rebate and the Eris is $199 less a $100 rebate.
