Microsoft Gold Certified partner, IS Partners, has again proved its innovative approach to business intelligence implementation through the use of Microsoft technology at this year`s Partner Summit. The annual partner awards are aligned with Microsoft`s key strategic initiatives and its Partner Programme competencies.
IS Partners received the "Microsoft BI Solutions Award 2005", meeting a number of stringent criteria. David Ives, Solutions and Technology Manager at Microsoft South Africa, explains that partners who win in each category have to show focus, in terms of competencies, such as resources, skills, certifications and expertise, and impact, both in the marketplace and with customers.
"In terms of BI, IS Partners has met the partner commitment criteria by demonstrating a proactive approach within the Partner Programme, strategic alignment in working with Microsoft and dedication to building and enhancing Microsoft skills, knowledge and expertise," he says.
Entrants also had to satisfy in terms of their capabilities, methodology, operations and infrastructure. "Our approach is differentiated by a streamlined implementation methodology that allows the customer to reduce deployment risks, reduce the timeframe for return on investment and control costs," says Caron Mooney, director of IS Partners.
"The BI solutions award acknowledges this success we`ve had in our customer base. While inclusion of the latest Microsoft technologies is key, customers have to realise benefits and the best business value through delivery of solutions. These requirements are defined by good project management, on-time delivery within budget, and meeting customer needs," she adds.
"Through the inclusion of Microsoft technologies, we are able to provide BI solutions that not only meet the business requirement exactly, but also exceed customer expectation to enable better, faster and more relevant decisions."
