- Leading Canadian technology partners honoured and celebrated at annual Awards ceremony.
Arbutus Solutions announced today that it has been selected as the winner in the Project and Portfolio Management Partner of the Year at the 2011 Microsoft Partner Network IMPACT Awards. The ninth annual IMPACT Awards recognize excellence across the large and diverse community of Microsoft’s Canadian technology partners. The winners were announced at an award ceremony in Toronto on November 30, 2011.
“Our annual IMPACT Awards celebrate the great work done in the Partner Community to help customers respond to their business challenges through the benefits of technology,” said Eric Gales, President of Microsoft Canada Inc. “Technology partners like Arbutus Solutions are always finding new and exciting ways to develop and deliver innovative technology solutions, making them true leaders in their respective fields.”
Arbutus Solutions was chosen as the winner in Project and Portfolio Management Partner of the Year for 2011. Arbutus Solutions was recognized for their work with a corporate client in the energy sector, for whom they configured Project Server to meet the organization's complex portfolio of simultaneous and correlated projects. Arbutus Solutions' success with this client was emphasized as the team was brought in to salvage a previous abortive attempt to address the client's chief project management concerns.
"We faced some critical challenges and we were motivated to overcome these for the client," says Michael Treasure, a Senior Partner and Director of Project Delivery for Arbutus Solutions. "It is an honour to receive this award, and be recognized for the efforts and success of the team on the project."
The solutions created for this client included:
1) a customized reporting system using PivotViewer that the Arbutus Solutions team anticipates will prove useful for future clients,
2) automation of manual processes relating to task updates on large, complex projects, and
3) collaboration sites for the various cross-functional teams on the projects.
Arbutus Solutions continues to offer support to this client, and expects to be called in to create solutions for other departments within this organization.
