OBT Named a Finalist in the 2012 MAPA Microsoft Partner of the Year Award for SaaS Hosting Partner of the Year
Announcement posted by OBT 20 Aug 2012
OBT, a leading Australian private cloud services provider, has been named as a finalist of the 2012 MAPA Microsoft Partner of the Year Award for SaaS Hosting Partner of the Year. The company was selected from a national field of top Microsoft Partners for delivering market-leading customer solutions built on the Microsoft platform.
The 24 categories of the MAPA programme recognise Microsoft Partners that have developed and delivered exceptional Microsoft-based solutions during the year.
OBT is a Microsoft Gold Hosting Partner and winner of Microsoft Australia Hosting Partner of the Year 2011. The company focuses on engaging channel partners across a range of vertical markets encompassing the various types of technology and business service providers – including systems integrators, telcos, independent software vendors, and business consultants.
Since winning the Hosting Partner of the Year Award 12 months ago, OBT has brought several new offerings to the marketplace, including its Hosted Lync service, a white label ready solution designed for the channel community, delivered as an easy-to-use cloud service, from multiple regions across the globe.
The user-friendliness of OBT’s Hosted Lync offering and white label billing capabilities opens up significant market opportunities among channel partners who are keen to maintain an exclusive relationship with their clients, yet do not have the track record or expertise in providing a wide stack of products as part of a private cloud offering.
By partnering with the channel community, this platform is immediately deliverable to many vertical markets with a white label control panel and capability to produce “white label billing”.
According to Shane Muller, Founder and Managing Director of OBT, “We are thrilled that our work in providing channel partners with opportunities in this rapidly evolving marketplace has received recognition as a finalist in the MAPA Awards. The marketplace is moving on from traditional forms of communication to rich, varied, multi-part collaborative communications. Our objective is not to wait for the dust to settle, but to be agile enablers of next generation cloud productivity and Unified Communications.”
