World Partner Conference

Thanks to all of you who stopped by the Sandbox kiosk to say hello and learn more about both the Connected Services Sandbox and the SingTel Mobile Accelerator Project under the Connected Services Accelerator Program.  What a great event!  There were Microsoft Partners from around the world – over 130 countries as I recall. 

For Sandbox and the Accelerator Program you couldn’t ask for a better gathering.  I learned from our Partners how Sandbox could be utilized to bring so many cool applications to so many diverse situations!  From mining to insurance to consumer to hospital to you name it!  Very clever ideas.  Amazing what bringing thousands of really smart people together can do for creativity!

If you were at WPC but did not get a chance to learn about Sandbox or the Accelerator Program the RFI can be found on the Sandbox webpage www.networkmashups.com.  Check out both in one place.  If your expertise matches the RFI, please register at:

This could be an excellent opportunity for a Supply Chain Management team to break into the Asian market!  Good luck in the selection process!
