ASPIC Road Show Proves Successful
Recently, CompTIA's ASP Community engaged in a series of
meetings with its membership across the U.S. and Europe to

issues our members face in today's business environment. We
thank our hosting members for their support in all these events
including IBM, Microsoft, Cisco, Siennax, Oracle, ASP-One and
