Azure lovers, we have good news for you. Our new years resolution in 2019 is to support the local Azure community. We kicked off with our first Azure Meetup in December. And as the numbers below suggest... people had a great time.
Join Matthew Long, Richard Benwell, and a host of other Christmas contributors, as we close the year with 12 Tips and Tricks, a review of 2018, and what we can expect looking forward to 2019.

Global Service Monitor (GSM) checks the availability of web-based applications from different geographies across the world. Why is that important?

Well, more than 50 reviewers gave SCOM an average rating of 4.2, which means it met Gartner’s criteria to win the award.
