CenterBeam Saves Client $150,000+ / Year
SAN JOSÉ, CALIF., September 13, 2005 – Today, CenterBeam announced it is the winner of Microsoft’s “Winning on Value” partner award. CenterBeam, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, received the award based on its outstanding sales growth and superior customer satisfaction.
The nomination for the award cited CenterBeam’s work with a large apparel manufacturer. In part, the nomination reads, “CenterBeam transformed the client’s entire IT environment to a Microsoft platform secured by Active Directory. The platform transition, along with CenterBeam’s ongoing management services, provides a stable, reliable IT environment that allows the client to grow their thriving business. Their IT department is focused on the activities that help them grow and manage their business while CenterBeam takes care of the base IT operations – all at an annual savings to the client of more than $150,000.”
Winning the Microsoft “Winning on Value” award comes only weeks after CenterBeam was awarded Microsoft’s highest partner status. Microsoft’s Gold Partner status singles out CenterBeam’s team for being experts in managing a broad range of services, from messaging to operating systems to office applications. The award was based on CenterBeam’s particular expertise in Microsoft Advanced Infrastructure Solutions and Information Worker Productivity Solutions.
CenterBeam’s success regularly attracts the attention of important opinion makers such as leading IT industry analyst Gartner. Gartner has published a case study on the CenterBeam service and cited CenterBeam’s innovative approach when the firm named CenterBeam one of the “Cool Vendors” in IT management. A book by Cisco Press, The Business Case for Virtual Business Processes, includes a case study of CenterBeam as an example of how companies can use IT outsourcing to reduce costs, improve efficiencies, and focus on their core business.
