Catapult Systems Earns Two Microsoft Partner Awards

AUSTIN, Texas – April 15, 2005 – Microsoft honored Catapult Systems with two Partner awards: one for Loyalty and one for Teamwork. Catapult competed with other Microsoft partners in the South Central Area for the honors. The awards were presented at the Microsoft Austin and Houston Quarterly Partner Briefings the week of April 11, 2005.

The Partner Teamwork Award recognized Catapult for working together with Microsoft and other Microsoft partners to realize the full potential for the customer. “Catapult Systems has been a long-time loyal Microsoft partner,” said Charlie Ramirez, Partner Account Manager at Microsoft. “They do an excellent job partnering with other companies of all types and levels to provide value to clients.”

Working together with other partners came naturally to Catapult as Teamwork is one of the company’s core values. All employees at Catapult are encouraged to work together, assist others and share information. “When working with Microsoft and other partners, we treat them as if they were part of our own organization,” said Sam Goodner, CEO Catapult Systems.

The Partner Loyalty Award honors partners who demonstrate exceptional loyalty to Microsoft through acts that demonstrate the partner’s commitment. Catapult earned this award through its company-wide focus on Microsoft solutions.

As a result of this focus, Catapult annually earns the title of Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and is currently certified in three Microsoft Competencies: Integrated eBusiness Solutions, Advanced Infrastructure Solutions, and Information Worker Productivity Solutions.
