LINKdotNET Honored with Microsoft Initiative Award for Inspiring
Customer Loyalty With Winning Technology Solutions
Cairo, Egypt, September 2005
Today LINKdotNET announced it has won the Regional Winning Customer Award for outstanding
competitive efforts in the region of Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA). The
company was chosen out of a field of top Microsoft Partners within Europe, Middle
East and Africa (EMEA) for delivering market-leading solutions that highlight the
benefits of working on the Microsoft platform.
"Microsoft Worldwide has just selected us for the '2005 Regional Winning Customer
Award Winner ' in .NET Application Platform category. Winning customer award recognizes
partners’ successful implementations of solutions, on the Microsoft platform that
“wins” customers in a competitive situation. Subcategory Application Platform .NET
acknowledged solutions based on .NET platform that either replaced a competitive
technology or was chosen by a customer over a competitive solution,” commented Karim
Beshara, CEO, LINKdotNET.
LINKdotNET was recognized for its successful implementation of a Microsoft-based
solution, versus utilizing the technology of other vendors, that resulted in significant
benefits to customers. Award winners were required to have implemented solutions
involving successful migrations, custom software development or completing customer
upgrades that leverage Microsoft technology. LINKdotNET won this year’s award by
expertly developing customer solutions that exemplify the benefit of working on
the Microsoft platform rather than those of other technology vendors.
LINKdotNET won the award for its work on an Government project due to be launched
soon, whereby they managed to migrate the project from an Oracle to a Microsoft
platform.
"It is a privilege to recognize LINKdotNET as a regional winner of this year’s Winning
Customer Award," said Allison Watson, vice president of the Worldwide Partner Sales
and Marketing Group at Microsoft. “It is this level of commitment in reaching out
to customers and underscoring the value of the Microsoft Windows integrated software
platform that enables continued success for us and for our partners. We applaud
LINKdotNET for its efforts to implement solutions that successfully met its customer’s
IT needs by migrating its systems to take advantage of the Microsoft platform.”
The Winning Customer Award is part of Microsoft’s Commercial Software Initiative,
which is designed to promote factual dialogue with customers, governments, academia,
partners and developers about the value of the commercial software model and the
Microsoft Windows integrated software platform.
The Microsoft Partner Program Awards recognize Microsoft Partners that have developed
and delivered exceptional Microsoft-based solutions over the past year. Multiple
awards are distributed in four categories: Partner of the Year for Technology Innovation,
Partner of the Year for Sales and Marketing, the Specialization Excellence Awards
and the Microsoft Initiative Awards, which also includes the Customer Experience
Award.
