On Tuesday, April 26, 2011 the Oregon Computer Consultants Association presents the Pac NW Team of Cisco's Small Business division for an exciting talk about Voice over IP and Cisco's commitment and offerings in the Small Business Space.

We will discuss certification requirements, how to "come to the Cisco SMB VoIP Party", overall product strategy, and marketing programs available for partners. Local Cisco Sales Engineer, John Somm, will also delve into the product families applicable to Small Business partners, and Small Businesses themselves. We will discuss a brand new product that cannot be mentioned as of press time – there is guaranteed to be quite a bit of buzz on the street by the date of this event though around this exciting new product family. We will talk about feature set, how to successfully position, sell, and place these products – and see what "whizz bang" features get end users excited and willing to make investments for. Interspersed throughout the evening will be conversations around SIP and other money saving "game changer" technologies.
