A blog series for US partners by Jenni Flinders, Microsoft US Vice President, Partner Strategy and Programs.
As we rapidly approach the Worldwide Partner Conference in Houston, I’m pleased to announce the United States 2013 Partner of the Year Award winners. The contribution each of these partner companies has made to the industry and to the Microsoft ecosystem is truly remarkable, and their dedication to delivering Microsoft-based solutions that delight customers is a wonderful representation of the excellence of our Microsoft Partner Network members. At WPC this year, I look forward to learning from these partners’ accomplishments and building upon their successes.
At WPC, executive representatives from each of the US award winners will be invited to join me, as well as other Microsoft US executives, to watch one of the two Vision Keynotes (on Monday and Wednesday mornings) from the executive suites in the Toyota Center.
In addition to showcasing the impressive list of US award winners below, I want to highlight this year’s United States Country Partner of the Year, Perficient. Perficient dedicated themselves this year to embracing the Microsoft devices and services strategy, and subsequently have driven tremendous customer value. I want to personally congratulate them on their success and award.
Please join me in congratulating all of these partners on their accomplishment.
I look forward to seeing you in Houston!
