On the closing day of Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference in Boston, The Redmond Company has published a list with all the partner companies that have been selected for the awards. The awards are part of Microsoft's strategy to create and sustain successful partnerships with outside companies that will implement its products on the market, or create applications based on Microsoft technology to both individual customers and businesses.

Innovative solutions by the Microsoft Registered, Certified and Gold Certified partners in the past year were recognized when the company compiled its more than consistent list of winners. Additionally, Microsoft announced awards for four other categories: the Global Enterprise Services and Technology Partner of the Year, Global ISV Partner of the Year, Customer Experience, and Winning Customer.

"More than 2,400 entries were submitted by partners worldwide; the award winners were selected from a group of finalists based on their dedicated use of Microsoft technologies to provide solutions for their customers' needs. Finalists for each category were chosen from defined regions of the world: Asia-Pacific; Canada; China; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA); Latin America; Japan; and the United States," reads a press release by Microsoft.
