PointBridge, a consulting firm dedicated to delivering advanced Microsoft solutions for large enterprises, joined a select group of Microsoft Partners by winning a 2005 Microsoft® Partner of the Year Award at Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference, which was recently held in Minneapolis.
The Partner of the Year Awards recognize Microsoft partners that delivered exemplary solutions for their customers during the past year. More than 1,800 entries were submitted by partners; the award winners were selected from a group of finalists based on their innovative use of Microsoft technologies. Finalists for each category were chosen from defined regions of the world: Asia; Canada; Europe; the Middle East and Africa; Latin America; the South Pacific; and the United States.
PointBridge was singled out from among six global finalists to win the Partner of the Year Award for technology innovation in the Advanced Infrastructure Solutions category. PointBridge was also honored with a Specialization Excellence Award for the Exchange Solution of the Year for its work with Wolters Kluwer, one of the world's leading publishers and providers of information products and services.
"Being named a Partner of the Year finalist was an important accomplishment," said Mike Gersten, Managing Partner, PointBridge, "but winning the award is even further validation of the impact we have on customers' businesses and the effectiveness of the Microsoft-based messaging and collaboration solutions we deploy."
While Microsoft partners completed over 1,800 award applications, there are over 266,000 Registered Partners; 28,000 Certified Partners and 4,600 Gold Certified Partners worldwide. Partners are an important part of the Microsoft ecosystem and help to drive product adoption and solution development.
