MSPmentor spoke with Spiceworks today. They told us to not read too much into Dell's sponsorship and the event location (a coincidence that it's right by Dell's headquarters). Apparently, Dell has sponsored the event before and Spiceworks has relationships with most of the major PC makers. So to be crystal clear: It looks like Dell is showing Spiceworks some sponsorships love... but don't look into it beyond that. We'll have more Spiceworks coverage, including a look at their SpiceWorld conference, this week. Hi Ollie, Your timing is impeccable. MSPmentor spoke with Spiceworks today.

There's a lot of overlap between the Silverback, Everdream, and Spiceworks products (frankly, I'm surprised that Dell hadn't already collapsed Silverback and Everdream together after their acquisitions two years ago, but they still appear to be selling them separately [www.dell.com/modularservices]) By adding Spiceworks, it takes another potential competitor out of the market, but presents yet another need to consolidate features and functions.
