i5 cracks 2008 Microsoft Dynamics Inner Circle

Johannesburg, 01 Aug 2008

Solutions provider i5 continues to reap the rewards of its sharp focus on delivering Microsoft business solutions. On top of the recent winning of the global Microsoft Dynamics CRM Partner of the Year Award, the company was named the sole South African member of the 2008 Microsoft Dynamics Inner Circle.

This elite group recognises outstanding partners with sales achievements that rank them at the top of the Microsoft Dynamics global network of value-added resellers. The recognition of i5 was made at the recent Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference 2008 in Houston, Texas.

"The Inner Circle achievement recognises i5's standing as a top partner for Microsoft Dynamics," says Doug Kennedy, VP, Microsoft Dynamics Partners. "This award is a direct result of the positive relationships that i5 has developed with our customers as well as its commitment to delivering top-quality solutions."

i5 has rapidly established itself as the premier provider of Microsoft CRM and related solutions to blue-chip South African companies. It's innovations on the Microsoft platform include internally developed tools which extend the value of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0, as well as a model for the delivery of on-demand software as a service across the Microsoft solutions spectrum. These innovations are complemented by a sound track record in the design, delivery and support of solutions that create business value.

Glen Ansell, i5 Group CEO, says participation in the Inner Circle provides i5 with the proximity to Microsoft to continue its trajectory of innovation. "Our goal is to provide high-performance business solutions to our customers at a low cost. That's really where we see the value of this development; by having a finger on the pulse of what Microsoft is doing, we are able to put its technology development into action for our customers faster."
