Microsoft Certified Partner Award Finalists Named
Microsoft
The finalists and winners, who will be honored at a ceremony at Microsoft's annual partner conference, Fusion 2002, were selected from nearly 900 entries submitted by partners worldwide.
The finalists in nine categories were chosen based on their use of Microsoft technologies to develop solutions. The categories include: Microsoft .Net Application of the Year, Anti-Piracy Advocate of the Year, Business Intelligence Solution of the Year, Collaborative Solution of the Year, E-Commerce Solution of the Year, Infrastructure Solution of the Year, Microsoft Certified Technical Education Center (CTEC) Solution of the Year, Packaged Application of the Year and Small-Business Solution of the Year.
"Each year Microsoft recognizes certified partners that have demonstrated excellence in a variety of areas," said Rosa Garcia, the outgoing general manager of the Partner Sales and Marketing Group at Microsoft, in a prepared statement issued on Tuesday. "We look for partners that have achieved outstanding customer impact and optimization of Microsoft technologies to solve a business need. This year, selecting the finalists was especially difficult because we were overwhelmed by the innovative business solutions being implemented around the world by Microsoft Certified Partners. It was an honor for us to receive so many amazing business applications of our products."
For each category, one finalist was chosen from each defined award region of the world: Asia/South Pacific, Eastern Europe/Middle East/Africa, Latin America, North America and Western Europe.
