Ensynch, Inc. Lands Two Prestigious Awards From Microsoft Area Partner Awards Program

Only Arizona Company to Snag Multiple Awards

TEMPE, Ariz., (August 17, 2004)--Ensynch, Inc., the Southwest’s leading provider of Information Technology Services, today announced its selection as a major award recipient in Microsoft Corporation’s Southwest District quarterly Microsoft Partner Update event. Ensynch was Arizona’s only company to win multiple awards, receiving two out of the five awards: the “Winning On Value” award and the “General Manager Award.”

“We’re pleased to officially recognize Ensynch’s commitment in empowering their customers with Microsoft products,” said David Mayer, Partner Engagement Manager, Microsoft Corporation. “These awards truly demonstrate the level of satisfaction our partners are able to bring to our joint customers. Ensynch exemplifies the type of Microsoft partner that offers significant value in the marketplace.”

The criteria for both awards consists of overall demonstrated customer service excellence as main requirements: The “Winning On Value” award is given to partners who win opportunities by selling the value of Microsoft technology where it yields the most successful experience for the customer; and the highly sought after “General Manager Award” is a selection made by Microsoft’s Regional General Managers recognizing one exceptional partner that continually goes above and beyond in all areas of partnering with Microsoft.

In receiving the “Winning On Value” award, Ensynch was recognized as the Southwest region’s top company for their infrastructure win with a leading global shipping multinational that allowed 160,000 global users, with over 3,000 sites in 300 countries, to migrate from a variety of disparate mail systems to a standardized Microsoft messaging platform. Part of the selection process was also based on Ensynch’s overall outstanding contributions and accomplishments both in the Enterprise and Small Mid-Market Solutions & Partners segment in the Southwest Area.

The West Region Area Partner Awards recognize partners that have demonstrated excellence in execution by going above and beyond expectations. “We had a lot of strong nominations describing extraordinary efforts,” said Microsoft’s Mayer. “It’s exciting to see the great work being done by our partner community.”

“We have always prided ourselves on our outrageous dedication to our customers, and frankly, as a company we just don’t have any other kind of customer service in our vocabulary but unrelenting,” said Gene Holmquist, President of Ensynch. “Receiving this type of attention from Microsoft is an honor for Ensynch and a testimony of the skill and dedication of our most important asset, our People.”

Further separating itself from other information service providers in the industry, Ensynch is considered a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner in Advanced Infrastructure Solutions. This overall business distinction is earned by demonstrating exceedingly high levels of certification and a mastery of the Microsoft family of solutions.
