Big Buzz for Aptimize at Microsoft's SharePoint Conference

Aptimize is flooded with customers and resellers at Microsoft’s SharePoint conference in Las Vegas. It was a busy week with the Aptimize team filling up their leads books at the SharePoint Conference.

A sold out event that had us all working around the clock. A lot of interest in Aptimize and how we are speeding up the Internet. We heard that customers want to put their SharePoint sites on the Internet. A growing trend that will reach critical mass with SharePoint 2010 when it ships in the spring. We demoed the product as well as showing everyone the performance benefit of running on Aptimize on product sites like SharePoint.Microsoft.com
