SYNERGY CORPORATE TECHNOLOGIES & COLE SYSTEMS SHARE “TERRIFIC TEAMWORK” AWARD FROM MICROSOFT

• Two Noted Microsoft Gold Certified Partners combine expertise to deliver better technology solutions to clients
• Celebrating the advantages of Microsoft’s “Partner-to-Partner Partnering” Strategy

WESTPORT, CT – April 21, 2008 – Synergy Corporate Technologies and Cole Systems have been awarded the “Terrific Teamwork” award by Microsoft for their collaborative work on several large customer projects over the past year.

Microsoft strongly encourages its Certified and Gold Certified, almost 90,000 of whom serve the United States, to engage in what it calls “Partner-to-Partner Partnering” in order to provide clients with better, more complete solutions.  “They operate under the theory that no partner can be all things to all clients,” explained Synergy principal Howard M. Cohen who also serves as President of the NYC Chapter of the International Association of Microsoft Certified Partners (IAMCP) which focuses on promoting Partner-to-Partner Partnering.  Cohen added, “Although Synergy holds more Microsoft Competencies and Specializations than any other partner in the United States there are still many services we do not provide, such as Microsoft Dynamics accounting systems, and that’s where we look to partner with excellent companies like Cole Systems.”

Synergy has distinguished itself as one of the foremost developers of information management and collaboration sites using Microsoft’s SharePoint Server platform, in addition to its InterActive website development, training,hosting, and technical support services. Cole Systems has established itself as a pre-eminent provider of consulting, implementation and development services around the various Microsoft Dynamics family of accounting and ERP solutions.

Both are among the few elite Gold Certified Microsoft partners that have been selected to be managed directly by the New York Microsoft management team.  James Beck, co-founder of Synergy, explained that “This makes us ‘go-to’ partners that Microsoft people turn to when they need an implemention partner they know they can trust.”
