Johannesburg, 13 Sep 2004

SYSPRO, a leading producer of enterprise software, has announced that the company is the recipient of the Microsoft Independent Software Vendor (ISV) of the Year award. The award was presented to SYSPRO at a ceremony in Sun City, South Africa. The ISV award winner is selected each year from among Microsoft ISV Partners, a select group of organizations committed to delivering exemplary Microsoft Windows-based solutions to worldwide customers. The much-coveted ISV award is hotly contested. In addition to recognition from Microsoft for outstanding achievement, this prestigious award is recognized by both vendor and user organizations as a mark of quality and excellence.

SYSPRO enjoys a strong partner relationship with Microsoft and is the only Microsoft ISV Partner to achieve Gold Certified Partner status in the ISV/Software Solutions category.
