FrontRange Solutions is moving fast to ensure its applications are compatible with the new Windows Vista operating system.
The company announced that it will release GoldMine Enterprise Edition 5.1 early to mid-2007. This version of GoldMine works with Windows Vista to provide a customer relationship management (CRM) solution to customers at small to mid-size enterprises (SME).
The award-winning GoldMine software will offer SME organisations adopting Windows Vista enterprise-class functionality at a low total cost of ownership that is easy to use, deploys quickly and delivers a rapid return on investment.
FrontRange is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and GoldMine will be a showcased solution for small to mid-size enterprises during the Windows Vista launch.
"More than 130 000 companies with more than 1.7 million seats worldwide use FrontRange software and solutions, such as GoldMine, to manage a wide variety of business relationships and provide exceptional service," says Michael McCloskey, CEO of FrontRange Solutions.
"Like GoldMine, all of our product families are designed to optimise customer investment by their interoperability, specifically for small to medium enterprise (SME) and distributed enterprise organisations.
"By working with Microsoft, we are excited by the opportunities and confident that GoldMine will provide users of Windows Vista significant value and enhanced functionality to our mutual customers," says McCloskey.
Says Jeffrey Kratz, Microsoft's Director of US ISV Sales and Business Development: "We are thrilled with the tremendous support and excitement we are seeing from our partners around the world in support of the business availability launch of the 2007 Office system, Exchange Server 2007 and Windows Vista.
"Our partners play a vital role in the early adoption, development and delivery of Microsoft technologies. By working closely with partners like FrontRange we are helping to provide our mutual customers with a high quality product, seamless technology integration, and improved user experiences."
