Cioffi, a Microsoft Small Business Specialist, is a seasoned speaker and writer on a variety of technology topics for small and mid-sized business, and an official advisor to Microsoft. In addition, he recently gained the Apple Mobility Competency. He will be joined by additional subject matter experts.

“As IT professionals, we hear the same questions from business owners on a regular basis: they want to know how the newest technology can help them save money and be more productive, how to keep their data secure, and what they should know about managing employees’ use of technology, among other things,” said Cioffi. “These seminars are a great opportunity for us to work together with other local experts to get those questions answered, and allow attendees to network and check out the Microsoft Store.”
