East Greenbush, NY /PRNewswire/ - Autotask Corporation, the world's leading provider of hosted IT business management software, today announced its Product Training Workshops sponsored by Microsoft will be held in a number of cities across the U.S. Autotask customers can attend these Service Desk focused events at no cost to learn how to maximize their investment in Autotask and to take advantage of the revenue opportunities associated with Windows XP End of Support (EOS) on April 8, 2014.

Training workshops will be held in:

"With the Windows XP EOS deadline approaching, this is a great time for us to go on the road with the Autotask Community and discuss the ways they can leverage this opportunity in their business. We are focusing our training on how they can use Autotask Service Desk to manage support issues around XP EOS while helping their end clients understand the need to migrate and avoid any serious downtime in the process," said Len DiCostanzo, Senior Vice President, Community and Business Development, Autotask.

He added, "Microsoft's sponsorship of these events allows us to prepare and educate our community in a hands-on way and gives our users an open forum to discuss how best to take advantage of the tremendous opportunity to use the XP EOS deadline to positively impact their business."

Autotask will provide this training at Microsoft's state-of-the-art training facilities for all road show dates (excluding the Albany, NY dates), which provides even more value for participants.  The road shows will primarily focus on Service Desk with additional training at Autotask's New York headquarters offering Projects, Contracts, CRM and more.
