WPC Awards Announced – SBSC Partner of the Year goes to…

Microsoft is proud to recognize the winners and finalists in the 2009 WPC (Worldwide Partner Conference)  Awards Program. These partners have developed exemplary solutions for their customers during the past year, and demonstrated the ability to optimize their use of Microsoft technologies to meet critical business needs.

In total there were 69 awards this year and nearly 2,000 excellent entries.It’s a little disappointing to see that there were no UK winners for the SBSC Partner of the Year award this year, though we know the entries were all of high calibre and that judging was a difficult task!

For those who are interested, here’s who did win:

When Australian Rules football clubs needed a technology solution for its business, it turned to Evolve IT, Microsoft’s leading Small Business Specialist Community partner in Australia.
