Microsoft names timeXtender ISV Partner of the Year

Johannesburg, 01 Dec 2008

TimeXtender, exclusively represented in South Africa by Microsoft Gold Certified partner IS Partners, was named Microsoft ISV of the Year 2008 in its home-country of Denmark. TimeXtender was selected from 3 800 Danish Microsoft partners.

Bjarne Riis, Sales Manager at Microsoft, says timeXtender bases its business on a partner-driven model and makes a relatively complex issue very simple. “They have delivered more than 60 solutions in Denmark over the last 12 months. In addition, timeXtender delivers 'Dynamics + Classic' integration and has developed a version of its solution based on Software Plus Services, which also makes the solution relevant for small and medium-sized companies. In the past year, timeXtender has achieved an impressive growth of 507%.”

This year, Microsoft nominated 53 partners that were evaluated across Microsoft Denmark's partner segments and product groups. The criteria set up by Microsoft were, among others, that the partner must have displayed an innovative frame of mind, won a particularly difficult sale, entered an entirely new market and shown admirable perseverance.

“At timeXtender, we are very proud to receive the Microsoft ISV award in recognition of our innovative approach to business intelligence - and we want to thank our partners and resellers around the world for their great work in taking timeXtender to customers,” says Heine Krog Iversen, CEO of timeXtender.

IS Partners was appointed as the first South African reseller for the Denmark-based timeXtender, an application toolset that radically changes the way business intelligence has been implemented in the past.

"TimeXtender offers organisations a new way to approach their business intelligence solutions. It delivers data validation, data transformation and OLAP cube creation without requiring any handwritten code, while ensuring best practices for SQL Server are also achieved. The result is a much more cost-effective, faster implementation that is also easier to maintain,” says Caron Mooney, director of IS Partners.
