ICONICS honoured as 2008 Microsoft Partner of the Year for ISV/Software Solutions

The company was chosen out of an international field of top Microsoft partners as delivering market-leading customer solutions built on Microsoft technology.  

We are excited to recognise ICONICS GENESIS64 suite, which demonstrates on a global level that better together is so much more than a tag line, said Robert Deshaies, Vice President, U.S. Partner Group, Microsoft Corp. It actually speaks to the business value delivered through tight integration by tapping into the full potential of each application while reducing support requirements. 

Awards were presented in a number of categories, with winners chosen from a pool of more than 2,000 entrants worldwide. ICONICS was recognised for its superior technology and innovation as an ISV/Software Solutions provider. The ISV/Software Solutions Partner of the Year award recognises the ISV competency partner that excels at developing and delivering packaged software to customers.  

ICONICS is extremely pleased to have been selected for this prestigious award from Microsoft, said Russ Agrusa, President and CEO of ICONICS. ICONICS has implemented, and integrated with, Microsoft technologies for over 20 years to meet the needs of our automation and manufacturing customers. Receiving the Partner of the Year award for our GENESIS64 HMI/SCADA solution reinforces the strength of our relationship with Microsoft, as well as our commitment to provide customers and partners with a 360 View of their Enterprise. 

ICONICS GENESIS64 was designed from the ground up to take advantage of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. ICONICS solutions also leverage Microsoft SQL Server 2008, SQL Server 2005, SharePoint Server and Office 2007. GENESIS64s use of the .NET Framework takes maximum advantage of Visual Studio Team System 2008. The enabling of these technologies allows ICONICS to help customers make better informed business decisions and is one reason why they have been named a 2008 Microsoft Partner of the Year.  

The Microsoft Partner Programme Awards recognise Microsoft partners that have developed and delivered exceptional Microsoft-based solutions during the last year.
