For this episode of the podcast leading up to Microsoft Inspire, I spotlight a Microsoft partner introducing and showcasing their new innovative solution at the event.

My guest for this episode of the podcast is Vadim Vladimirskiy. Vadim is the CEO and Founder of Nerdio. a Microsoft partner with a long tradition in delivering value-added managed services that have developed an innovative platform that reduces the risk, complexity, and cost for service providers delivering cloud services.

In this episode, Vadim and I discuss his experiences and insights as a managed service provider, the best practices his organization brings to this new innovative product offering, why other Microsoft partners should work with Nerdio and where partners can meet he and the team at Microsoft Inspire, July 15th to the 19th in Las Vegas Nevada.

And if you are coming to Inspire, please join me in the Commons Theater on Wednesday, July 18th at 2:30 for a special session where I’ll share “What they don’t teach working with Microsoft”.
