We appreciate your interest in www.SystemCenterCentral.com, your community for “everything System Center”. SystemCenterCentral.com was founded by three Microsoft Most Valued Professionals (MVPs) Pete Zerger, Maarten Goet, and Rory McCaw.
As individuals we have been involved in the community dating back to as early as the year 2000, well before the ‘System Center’ moniker even existed and over that time we have seen and been a part of the evolution of these products. At the same time, we have watched the organic grown of the community that administers and supports these technologies and we noticed that a lot of the content was dispersed and scattered in various blogs and product specific community sites. From our view , community is about helping people find answers. Our goal in building SystemCenterCentral.com is to help consolidate all of this disparate content and make it easier to find the information that you are looking for.. While there are efforts to deliver this for all System Center product s today, no one site provides authoritative coverage of the entire suite today. With this goal in mind, we are hard at work developing a site with a mix of features you won’t find anywhere else.
SystemCenterCentral.com is a community site that is funded through sponsors, typically independent software vendors that are interested in making their offerings known to the community. Microsoft, Quest, Bridgeways and Secure Vantage Technologies are the founding sponsors of SystemCenterCentral.com, the types of companies that you see in the exhibit hall at industry events like the Microsoft Management Summit (MMS) and TechEd. SystemCenterCentral.com is operated as a not-for-profit venture. None of the founders or contributors are paid a salary or compensated monetarily in any way for their time or contributions. Instead, the money raised through sponsorships is used to pay for site development and hosting and to support user groups within the community.
In our view, community is about people, not web addresses. We encourage everyone in the System Center community to become a registered user at SystemCenterCentral.com, meet other members of the System Center Community and feel a part of a community that supports one another. If you are already a member of an existing community, you too are welcome. You will not be asked to choose one community over another as our belief is that there will always be room for everyone. We simply encourage you to join in the discussion and become a part of the growing community of IT professionals around the world helping one another make the most of their System Center investment.
Welcome to SystemCenterCentral.com. We look forward to your participation, feedback and contributions!
