Microsoft appoints Aia Software - Microsoft Gold Certified Partner
Boston June 13th, 2006 - At the Microsoft Partner Conference in Boston, Aia Software has been officially awarded the status of Microsoft Gold Certified Partner. At a well attended ceremony conducted at the Aia Software booth, Eric Thijssen, Director Small & Mid-market Solutions & Partners from Microsoft Nederland, presented the plaque that accompanies the title to Paul Dirven, CEO of Aia Software. This appointment is a confirmation of the long-term and intensive cooperation between both organisations and the problem-free integration and co-existence of the ITP Document Platform with Microsoft products. Aia Software has qualified for Gold Certified Partner status through achieving high customer satisfaction, profound knowledge of the Microsoft products and the extensive certification of ITP by Microsoft. The additional benefits that Aia Software will derive from this new partnership status will directly benefit Aia’s customers.
"Companies want certainty about their ICT solutions and demand a warranty of quality from their suppliers. A Microsoft Gold Certified partner can give this guarantee", said Eric Thijssen. "Microsoft Gold Certified Partner-status awarded to Aia Software can be categorized as ISV Software Solutions Competency. Aia Software has proven that they understand the importance of quality and have demonstrated the required competencies by sharing customer references and through several technical platform tests performed by us. We have complete confidence in the continuation of our cooperation."
Paul Dirven, CEO Aia Software: "We invest in our relationship with Microsoft to ensure that customers achieve optimal results from their investment in ITP. Our appointment as Microsoft Gold Certified Partner is definitely a milestone for us but it is especially significant for our customers. For them, Microsoft Word is often a key mechanism in the process of creating correspondence and documents with ITP and consequently, a seamless integration is essential. We closely follow all developments at Microsoft and we are already prepared for the launch of the 2007 version of Microsoft Office and Windows Vista, this autumn. Our Server-Based Word solution will continue to be a highly effective add-on. When customers upgrade their Microsoft products, we ensure that ITP can fully support them without any problems."
