I wanted to share some of the “raw data” from Six Weeks of Windows Azure which started way back in January and completed today (29th Feb 2012)
I will shortly do a mini-retrospective.
Top Level:
- Web site visits: 23,140 (as of 29th Feb) with 1857 visits on the busiest day
- Partners involved: 11 (partners)
- Sessions: 30 sessions and over 30 hours of content (agenda)
- Live and On-Demand: All live sessions were recorded and made available for streaming/download along with session notes (slides and notes)
- Registrations: Over 500 individuals registered with 150 unique companies joining us in Week 1
- Active: 80 unique companies made it through to end of Week 3 (by which we had covered “all” the important bits)
- Labs: 12 companies looking at SaaS using Windows Azure joined us in Week 4 labs in our Microsoft Technology Center
Who:
- Majority of companies attending were partners vs customers (over 90%)
- 75% of engagement came from UK companies
- 71% Technical
- 86% very little/no exposure to Cloud/Windows Azure
What:
91% of companies were building solutions to be used external to their own org
59% building a mix of applications
90% .NET
55% brownfield and greenfield
Active:
- Of the 500 individuals who registered, 190 individuals from 150 unique companies attended week 1.
- By week 3 around 90 individuals from 80 unique companies
- Week 6 attendees – 83% more likely to adopt and 50% now expect to do it sooner than originally planned
Feedback:
Week 6 Polls
95% would recommend
88% would like us to use this approach again
Verbatim:
