“We are thrilled that Bridgetech Systems Inc has won a 2005 Microsoft Partner Program IMPACT award. As true leaders in their fields, technology partners continue to deliver to customers the solutions they need to help perform at an optimal level,” said Lora Gernon, Director of Partner Sales, Microsoft Canada Co. “Our annual IMPACT Awards is an opportunity to celebrate top technology partners who have demonstrated innovation and shown true dedication through their tremendous support and service to customers.”
Bridgetech Systems Inc was chosen as the winner in Networking Infrastructure Solution of the Year for migrating the network of the Canadian Teachers Federation from a Novell/Groupwise environment to a Microsoft Server 2003/Exchange 2003 infrastructure.
