Microsoft Worldwide Conference Closes With Multiple Honors for Client Profiles
28 July 2010
The partnership between Client Profiles and Microsoft Dynamics has been highly successful for both companies, a fact that was on display at the annual Worldwide Partner Conference in Washington, D.C. In front of a crowd of 14,000 people, Client Profiles' president and CEO Whit McIsaac took the stage to accept the 2010 Partner of the Year in Professional Services award. This is the second year in a row that the company has earned that distinction, an accomplishment that only a handful of companies achieve.
Client Profiles was also chosen as the Microsoft Independent Software Vendor (ISV) of the year for 2010. The award recognizes Microsoft's top software developer, across all products and markets. This honor was highly competitive, with Client Profiles selected from more than 12,000 ISVs in the U.S.
"We are honored by the praise we have received from Microsoft Dynamics this year," said McIsaac. "A lot of hard work has gone into our products and services and we are appreciative of the continued recognition and support we have been given from Microsoft."
Client Profiles was also named to the Microsoft President's Club in recognition of the company's exceptional overall performance in delivering valuable solutions to Microsoft Dynamics customers. This distinction means that Client Profiles will receive early access to Microsoft technology that is being developed, allowing Client Profiles to provide its clients with the best possible software as soon as it is ready for the market.
Microsoft has said it will continue to be supportive of this "mutually rewarding partnership" as time goes on. According to McIsaac, Client Profiles is looking forward to future work with Microsoft.
