LEADING GLOBAL MARKETING AND TECHNOLOGY AGENCY LBi ACHIEVES GOLD CERTIFIED PARTNERSHIP WITH MICROSOFT FOR THE FOURTH YEAR RUNNING
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
LBi, the world's largest independent marketing and technology agency has again
received the Microsoft gold certified partnership accolade and continues to
provide clients with best-in-class digital solutions built on Microsoft
technologies. LBi was able to achieve the Gold Certified partnership because of
the large number of successful client implementations on Microsoft technologies
in 2009 and also LBi increased the number of certified developers in the network
by 15%.
"The Microsoft and LBi partnership represents a great opportunity to deliver
innovative solutions to clients." says Matt Pilgrim, Partner Account Manager at
Microsoft. "With Microsoft's Platform, development tools and increasing
functionality and interoperability across the range of products, there is a
great base for LBi to add to their creative flair and technology insight to
empower their clients with productivity improving solutions and compelling
experiences across a range of delivery mediums."
LBi's breadth and depth of skills and delivery of successful services and
solutions has seen LBi gain Microsoft competencies in SOA and Business Process,
Information Worker Solutions (Enterprise Content Management and Forms
Specialization), Mobility Solutions, Custom Development Solutions (Web
Development Specialization) and Business Intelligence. These Microsoft
competencies have helped LBi achieve the Gold Certified Partnership with
Microsoft for the fourth year running.
Anil Pillai, Managing Director for LBi UK, says "Our clients are increasingly
asking us to participate in defining opportunities to innovate using digital
media. Our partnership has deepened over the last few years offering us more
insight into some of the tremendous research and development on platforms and
devices coming through the Microsoft stable. These early views provide our teams
with inspiration and input into new and innovative ideas for brand marketing and
consumer engagement."
LBi has been a Microsoft partner for over ten years and the relationship has
seen a significant investment in people, training and infrastructure at LBi
offices worldwide. Riaz Ahmed, Head of Microsoft Solutions at LBi values the
partnership:
"I encourage my developers to keep up with the latest innovations and products
from Microsoft and this partnership helps LBi tap into product and research
teams at Microsoft. We get to find out what's coming up and get the necessary
training and support to help put a best in class Microsoft technology solution
in place for our clients. We've had some great client success stories with
solutions built on .NET, Commerce Server, SharePoint, BizTalk and SQL Server.
At LBi blending technology, creativity and user experience is key, our
relationships and engagements span various industries and we have developed
Microsoft solutions for some of the world's most recognised brands including
Sony, Marks & Spencer, BT, Toyota, HMV, Volvo, NHS, Sara Lee, Newell Rubbermaid
and many more."
LBi has a stella track record of developing cutting edge Microsoft solutions
whether it's developing the next large scale multi-language CMS platform on
SharePoint, an international multi-branded eCommerce solution on Commerce Server
and BizTalk or an international campaign site developed on .NET and SQL Server.
What makes these projects so successful is the ability to combine these
technology implementations with great design and user experience as well as the
insights of marketing strategy and planning.
"2010 is a big year for technology at LBi" added Mr Ahmed. "and with an array of
new Microsoft products spanning multiple devices and platforms, you can count on
LBi utilising them to develop something exciting and technologically innovative
for our clients."
