Microsoft announced at its Worldwide Partner Conference in Denver, CO that Workshare won Microsoft's prestigious Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Partner of the Year award.
I want to thank our customers and partners for being the source of major recognition for Workshare. Your confidence in and constant feedback to Workshare made it possible for us to receive this coveted award.
The last three years as CEO at Workshare afforded me wonderful opportunities to get to know many of you in person. In my early meetings with you (back in 2004), I often heard a consistent question "what is Workshare doing with respect to Microsoft?" Your clarity and feedback on this topic helped us achieve many Microsoft honors from Gold Certified Partner in 2005, to Managed Partner in 2006, to one of only four private firms to be a global launch partner for Windows Vista and 2007 Office systems, and now the ultimate Microsoft distinction, ISV Partner of the Year.
Your confidence in our solutions, and your "tough love" critique also helped us: Surpass 1 million active day to day users across 6,000 organizations in 65 countries
- Achieve a 92% satisfaction rate and industry high renewal rates
- Distribute 78% of our software via partner channels where customers select how to buy
- Deliver award winning releases of both Workshare Professional and Workshare Protect
- Gain recognition by Gartner Group as a top emerging ISV for Data Loss Prevention
- Raise $20m+ from Intel Capital and other prominent institutional investor
I speak for all Workshare employees and Board members in saying we enjoy serving you, the center of the Workshare family. I promise we will continue to raise our standards of excellence so that you can continue to raise yours.
Warm regards,
Joe Fantuzzi
CEO and Chairman
