Innovative .NET Software Licensing and Protection Service provider receives highest level recognition under the new Microsoft Partner structure.
DUBLIN, Ireland —November 5, 2010 —InishTech, a global leader in software license management and code protection systems for Microsoft Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), is one of an elite group of global software companies to achieve a Gold Level ISV Competency under the new Microsoft Partner structure.
In the new structure, introduced on November 1st , partners are certified at Silver or Gold competency level in any of 29 new competencies that Microsoft has introduced to make it easier for customers to identify and select appropriate Microsoft Partners to do business with.
The new Gold Competency recognises the highest level of competence and expertise that an ISV can achieve. It is reserved for partners who can demonstrate exceptional performance in delivering solutions that integrate with Microsoft technologies to a very high level of customer satisfaction, and is supported by multiple customer references.
Recent Microsoft-commissioned research conducted by IDC shows that partners with a higher level of engagement with Microsoft attain a greater level of customer satisfaction and demonstrate healthy business growth and profitability.
By achieving this status, InishTech now has access to specialized training and support, and early access to new technology and the tools, which will allow the company to build on its existing close working relationship with Microsoft, and as a result provide enhanced solutions to its customers.
InishTech, which is part owned by Microsoft, provides an online service to .NET Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) globally that enables them to deploy flexible licensing and commercial models and provides industry leading code and IP protection. The SLP Service allows ISVs to market multiple configurations of their product depending on customer requirements and supports a range of commercial models including SaaS, time and utility based pricing and evaluation and trial versions. It is the ideal solution for ISVs with traditional on-premise solutions, SaaS offerings or hybrid models and is particularly relevant to ISVs planning to move to Azure. The service is subscription and activation charge based, making it both affordable and easy to manage on a pay-as-you-use model. An On Premise Server version is also available.
“We are particularly pleased that we are among the first group of global partners who have attained Gold ISV Competency on the launch of the new Partner structure. This allows us to clearly promote our expertise and relationship with Microsoft to our clients,” said Aidan Gallagher, CEO and co-founder of InishTech. “In today’s competitive environment, a Microsoft gold competency sets our company apart from the competition by demonstrating a specific, proven skill set to our customers. As a company focused exclusively on Microsoft technology, our close working partnership with Microsoft and the benefits provided through our Gold Competency status will allow us to continue to enhance the offerings that we provide for clients.”
