About Cloud Cover
Working in different areas of IT consulting for over 20 years, Brent knows the frustration and hassle companies constantly face with IT problems. When technology does not work for your business, it’s not only frustrating and time consuming, it’s downright expensive.

ORDER A COPY OF BRENT'S BOOK
The goal of this book is not to introduce or thoroughly explain the material covered on the 70-417 exam. Rather, the aim of this book is to provide an in-depth review for those already familiar with the material. It reduces the number of surprise questions that often appear on a Microsoft exam -- questions that can make test takers wonder exactly what exam objectives would have led them to study the material in question.
