Capgemini UK has won the Partner of the Year Award for Sales and Marketing in the Custom Development Solutions category at the 2006 Microsoft Worldwide Partner Program Awards. The company was chosen out of an international field of top Microsoft Partners as delivering market-leading customer solutions built on Microsoft technology. The awards were distributed at a ceremony on July 12 in Boston, MA, at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference.
Gerry Yantis, Vice President of Healthcare Services at Capgemini UK plc, said: ‘I am naturally delighted that Capgemini has won this important award against stiff global competition. Rapid iterative development proved key to delivering information and services to the customer – in this case NHS Wales and its patients. Within a very aggressive timeframe, the Microsoft.NET platform enabled our project team to develop a secure patient portal as quickly as our client could develop requirements. Our success in this year’s awards reflects the hard work and strong capability of the integrated client/Capgemini team.’
Awards were presented in a number of categories, with winners chosen from a pool of more than 1,800 entrants worldwide. Capgemini UK plc was recognized for superior Sales and Marketing in the Custom Development Solutions category. The Custom Development Solutions Award recognizes the year’s top partners in providing custom-developed solutions to customers who require value-added capabilities. Capgemini UK plc won this award by developing a patient portal solution for NHS Wales that will benefit patients by increasing their ability to care for themselves.’
‘It is a privilege to recognise Capgemini UK plc as a winner of this year’s Custom Development Solutions category in Sales and Marketing,’ said Allison Watson, vice president of the Worldwide Partner Sales and Marketing Group at Microsoft. ‘It is this level of effectiveness in reaching out to our shared customers regarding the value of solutions built on Microsoft technology that enables continued success for us and for our Partners. We applaud Capgemini UK plc for its achievements this year and offer gratitude for our ongoing collaboration through the Microsoft Partner Program.’
