      Talk about a power house of a team. TierPoint's application engineering team is beyond excellent. My first week on the job I was brought in to help with a complex multi-tenant Office 365 migration with thousands of users. We don't only handle Office 365, the team was designed to handle all types of hybrid cloud / co-located environments. It makes it difficult to point to certain technologies we handle. We work with Microsoft's Office 365, IIS, Remote Desktop Services, and different load-balancers. I'm looking forward to learning a lot from the diverse team and I hope to leverage my Microsoft skill set and passion so everyone gets the most out of every project. I always see links to the products and services in LinkedIn profiles so I figured I should stick with the herd: http://www.tierpoint.com/managed-services/
