Work has been completed on the Client Management Suite Assessment and Upgrade Service Delivery Resource Kits and are now available for download by our Specialized and Master Specialized partners. This completes the set of 3 SDRK's for the Client Management Suite service offerings (Implementation, Assessment and Upgrade).

Stay tuned for maintenance releases as new developments take place. For this reason, I HIGHLY recommend that you subscribe to the CMS libraries on SymIQ for Partners. Subscribing to the CMS libraries will alert you when updates to the SDRK's occur.
