Congratulations 2019-2020 Microsoft MVP!

Monday, July 1, 2019
Once again I am deeply honored to receive the Microsoft MVP Award in the Office Servers and Apps category for 2019-2020. This is my eleventh consecutive year for this award.

The MVP Award is an important recognition to me and I'm very pleased to receive it. It includes several benefits, but the most important one to me are all the interactions with the great product groups at Microsoft. These relationships allow me to reach out to specific product team members to provide feedback and get clarification on product features and behaviors.

It's a mutually beneficial partnership -- under NDA, Microsoft is able to talk with MVPs about product futures, provide access to technology adoption programs (TAPs) to try out new software, and solicit our feedback. As MVPs, we are able to provide important and honest feedback to the product teams about how new features and behaviors will affect our customers, beta test new software and file bug reports, and be advocates for you, the customer.

This also adds value to my IT consulting business, EXPTA Consulting. It's evidence that Microsoft values my technical leadership and real-world experience, which I bring to each and every engagement, and customers know that I provide the best results as their trusted advisor.
