Company Stands Out From 1,800 Entrants with Innovative Data Visualization Products
Fractal:Edge announced it has been selected as a finalist for Microsoft Corporation’s Partner of the Year Award in the ISV/Software Solutions, Innovation category. Winners of the 2007 Microsoft Partner Program Awards – which recognize top Microsoft Partners delivering market-leading Microsoft-based solutions – will be announced July 11 at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference in Denver, Colorado.
“I am delighted that the research, product development and client solutions that we have delivered with Fractal Maps integrated into the Microsoft platform have been recognized by the Microsoft award team.” said Gervase Clifton-Bligh, VP of Product Strategy & Development and inventor of Fractal:Edge’s patented technology. “Innovation brings with it the risk of slower adoption. Recognition like this and client testimonials confirm we have developed a genuinely valuable software solution that delivers results for all types of users – quickly, accurately and visually.”
Awards will be presented in a number of categories, with winners chosen from a pool of more than 1,800 entrants worldwide. The ISV/Software Solutions Innovation Partner of the Year Award recognizes an ISV who has developed an innovative approach to solving a business or consumer need utilizing Microsoft’s latest technologies. The winning partner will have demonstrated leadership in the areas of innovation, market potential, media/analyst buzz, investor value creation and customer adoption with a least 3 active business customers or 1,000 consumers.
“We have a diverse and talented partner ecosystem that each year raises the bar in the design and deployment of customer solutions built on Microsoft technologies,” said Allison L. Watson, corporate vice president, Microsoft Worldwide Partner Group. “We are pleased to recognize Fractal:Edge as one of our partners leading the field in this category.”
