14 DAY TRIAL // For 2009, Microsoft revealed that there were no less than 33 winning companies from the Central and Eastern Europe partner ecosystem. The Redmond company dedicated the past week to the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference 2009, and companies in Europe working with the software giant were by no means ignored. In this sense, 33 winners of 2009 Central and Eastern European Partner of the Year Award were recognized by Microsoft for their work in making available what the Redmond company referred to as “exemplary solutions” for their customers. Awards were offered to Microsoft Registered Partners, Microsoft Certified Partners and Microsoft Gold Certified Partners.
“Last year at Worldwide Partner Conference, we announced we would be investing $100m per year over the next three years. This year, we are bolstering our partner readiness program through this investment, including training over 50,000 individuals in the new technologies which will be on offer in the region,” revealed Charles Arizmendi, director, Partner Strategy and Programs, Microsoft Central and Eastern Europe. “Microsoft succeeds only when our partners succeed and supporting them in meeting customer needs helps generate more profit and employment, which in turn delivers growth for the whole economy. These awards demonstrate that we are proud of their achievements and their vital contribution to the local business ecosystem.”
Microsoft indicated that it regarded all winners of the 2009 Microsoft Central and Eastern European awards as top performers of the European IT industry. The 33 winners selected are spread across 44 categories. The Redmond company enjoys a rich partner ecosystem in Europe, with more than 250,000 partners. In this regard, the software giant noted that its partners made up two-thirds of the EMEA IT industry.
