Bruno Aziza (BSM product mgr) & I will be traveling to the below locations in Europe Mar.17 – 24^th in support of the BSM Partner Readiness Tour. We want to be sure we get as many partners up to speed on BSM as possible & also look forward to scheduling separate partner meetings with while in these local regions as well. The tour is focused on partner readiness & will prove to be a valuable resource to partners who are taking BSM to market.

Our primary focus in the seperate meetings is on helping to close BSM business in 2H06 & we have resources to help make this happen for qualified opportunities. We would also like to plan for FY07 success & will coordinate with local PAMs to help drive the planning.
