Belay recognised by Microsoft in two competencies areas

Johannesburg, 18 Sep 2009

Each year, Microsoft hosts a conference for its partner community, not only to encourage collaboration around its new technologies, but also to provide a forum that enables them to network with each other.

In addition, it uses this opportunity to recognise those partners that have excelled in their specific competency areas.

This year, Belay Solutions was nominated as a finalist in both the customer application development and advanced infrastructure competency areas. This is the culmination of the combined efforts from across the complete spectrum of the complete business and, for example, includes helping customers receive the value from its Microsoft investments, training its staff to ensure the highest level of Microsoft skills and focusing on the development of a strategic relationship with Microsoft themselves.

Belay Solutions has encouraged a focused approach with the solutions it offers, to ensure it continues to be innovative, cost-effective, reliable and functionally sound. Despite the local market, which has been impacted by the global financial downturn, Belay Solutions has managed to retain its customer base and has even attracted new clients by adhering to these principles.

“The recognition we have received from Microsoft reaffirms our vision of the business to deliver value to our customers,” commented Renesh Buldeo, Executive Director of Belay Solutions. “In addition, it also signifies that both our leadership teams and staff fully understand the Microsoft technology platforms.”

“Acknowledgement from Microsoft emphasises the great work that our teams have delivered in the Microsoft custom application development and advance infrastructure solutions space,” added George Grimes, CEO of Belay Solutions. “It is important that the Microsoft specialists in our business receive this recognition and visibility for the solutions they deliver to our clients.”
