What is Microsoft Optimization MO?

MO or Infrastructure Optimization (IO) is a technology maturity model that maps infrastructure technology to business needs. This model helps the IT customer understand how to move their organization's IT from a Basic IT level where they spend most of their time "Fighting Fires," to a Dynamic IT level where the IT Dept becomes a strategic asset of the organization.

MO provides a framework or a pattern where the IT customer and their external vendors, suppliers, partners can discuss their business needs and their direction. This discussion has already started with most of Microsoft's medium to large customers and the Microsoft Sales Field; and it is a great language for the Certified Partner for Learning Solutions to leverage in participating in the bigger sales opportunities.
