NEEDHAM, Mass., July 6, 2005—Brooktrout
Technology, Inc., a leading supplier of media processing and call
control products, today announced it has earned gold certified status
in Microsoft Corp.’s Partner Program recognizing Brooktrout’s
expertise and total impact in the technology marketplace. As a Gold
Certified Partner, Brooktrout has demonstrated expertise with Microsoft
technologies and proven ability to meet customer needs. Microsoft
Gold Certified Partners receive a rich set of benefits, including
access, training and support, that give them a competitive advantage
in the marketplace.
The Program distinguishes companies that have passed a series of
stringent requirements by Microsoft, and provides Brooktrout with
the resources it needs to optimize fax and speech-focused solutions
based on the Microsoft technology platform. Brooktrout has been
shipping products for Microsoft Shared Fax since 2001. The company
is a leading provider of platforms for fax delivery and management
with a broad fax product line and strong support of new industry
protocols.
“We are extremely pleased with our new status as a Microsoft
Gold Certified Partner. This allows us to clearly promote our expertise
and relationship with Microsoft to our customers,” said Eric
Giler, president of Brooktrout. “Brooktrout has been a trusted
provider of Microsoft Shared Fax products for four years and we
are extending our relationship with Microsoft by providing telephony
platforms for Microsoft Speech Server.”
“Only companies that have demonstrated high levels of customer
service, proved their experience and attained advanced certification
receive the designation of Microsoft Certified Partner,” said
Allison Watson, vice president of the Worldwide Partner Sales and
Marketing Group at Microsoft. “Today, Microsoft recognizes
Brooktrout for its skills and expertise in providing customer satisfaction
with Microsoft products and technology.”
The Microsoft Partner Program was launched in December 2003 and
represents Microsoft’s ongoing commitment to the success of
partners worldwide. The Microsoft Partner 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.
In addition to the new partner status, Brooktrout has also obtained
three important certifications for its new TR1000 for Microsoft
Speech Server platform: Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL), Windows
Server 2003 and Microsoft Speech Server 2004 R2. The TR1000 for
Microsoft Speech Server is the first telephony product to meet the
Microsoft technical standards for reliability and management across
applications, operating systems, drivers and telephony cards.
