INDIANAPOLIS, IN -- Nov. 29, 2004 -- Vonexus Inc., a global
developer of Microsoft-based IP PBX software and wholly-owned subsidiary of
Interactive Intelligence Inc., achieved Gold Certified status
last month in the Microsoft Partner Program with competencies in Information
Worker Productivity and Independent Software Vendor/Software Solutions.
Requirements for Gold Certified status include demonstrated expertise with Microsoft technologies, and a proven ability to meet customers' needs within specific competency areas. As a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, Vonexus receives access to Microsoft documentation, training, and support designed to give it a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
Vonexus was launched in July as an Interactive Intelligence subsidiary to offer the first standards-based, all-software IP PBX developed exclusively for Microsoft small to midsize business customers.
Its IP PBX, called Enterprise Interaction Center® (EIC), offers SIP- based switching, built-in auto-attendant, call routing and queuing capabilities, and wireless support. EIC is pre-integrated with Windows Server, SQL, and LCS, and offers Windows and Outlook-based softphones, as well as Exchange-based unified messaging. Screen-pop and IVR integration will soon be available for Microsoft Business Solutions, including Great Plains, Navision, and CRM.
"Customers are looking for partner companies that can bridge the gap between their business demands and technology capabilities," said Allison Watson, vice president of the Worldwide Partner Sales and Marketing Group at Microsoft Corp. "They need to trust in someone that can act as an expert adviser for their long-term strategic technology plans. Microsoft Gold Certified Partners, which have certified expertise and direct training and support from Microsoft, can build a positive customer experience with our technologies. Today, Microsoft recognizes Vonexus as a new Microsoft Gold Certified Partner for demonstrating its expertise in providing customer satisfaction with Microsoft products and technology."
"Our Gold Certified Partner status enables us to promote our expertise and relationship with Microsoft to our customers," said Vonexus president, Jerry Fleming. "The benefits provided through this Partner Program enable us to continue to enhance our offerings to customers, as well as differentiate our offerings from competitors through our declared competencies."
Vonexus achieved its competency in Information Worker Productivity Solutions, which was designed by Microsoft to provide additional benefit and support to partners specializing in collaboration, portals and other productivity solutions.
The company also achieved competency in Independent Software Vendor/Software Solutions, which was designed by Microsoft to recognize the skill and focus partners bring to a particular solution set.
Vonexus has a global channel, today composed of approximately 80 enterprise IP telephony value-added resellers, including Microsoft-certified partners. A 10-user starter system is currently being offered by Vonexus on a promotional basis through December. For more information, visit: http://www.vonexus.com .
The Microsoft Partner Program was launched in December 2003 and represents Microsoft's ongoing commitment to the success of partners worldwide. The program offers a single, integrated partnering framework that recognizes partner expertise, rewards the total impact that partners have in the technology marketplace, and delivers more value to help partners' businesses be successful.
