PointBridge Selected as Finalist for Microsoft® Partner of the Year Award
Microsoft Corporation today named PointBridge, a leading Microsoft solutions provider, as a finalist for the exclusive Microsoft Partner of the Year award for outstanding work in Information Worker Solutions in the Portals and Enterprise Content Management category.
An expert in the Microsoft Office SharePoint (MOSS) 2007 technology, PointBridge completed more SharePoint 2007 implementations in 2006 and 2007 than any other Midwest solution provider. As a result, Microsoft recognized the firm for exemplary work and in particular is looking at the work completed for Arthur J. Gallagher Risk Management Services, a global subsidiary of Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. (AJG). AJG is an international insurance brokerage and risk management services firm, headquartered in Itasca, Illinois, with operations around the world.
For AJG Risk Management, PointBridge implemented a SharePoint-based document management system that increased process efficiencies, enhanced knowledge sharing and improved records management. AJG Risk Management handles more than 11 million documents per year.
Microsoft received more than 1,800 entries from partners worldwide, and finalists were selected based on their dedicated use of Microsoft technologies to provide customer solutions.
“The Partner Awards Program gives Microsoft the distinct pleasure of recognizing Registered, Certified and Gold Certified partners that have demonstrated exceptional levels of innovation and value to customers,” said Allison L. Watson, corporate vice president of the Worldwide Partner Group at Microsoft.
“PointBridge is proud to be recognized by Microsoft with this honor,” said Michael Gersten, PointBridge CEO. “And it’s all the more meaningful because it takes into account the innovative communication and collaboration solutions we’ve successfully delivered to clients that employ new Microsoft technologies.”
