It provides qualified ISVs with deeper and accelerated technical under-standing of Microsoft-based platforms and development tools.
“We are delighted that Actenum Corporation has decided to extend the functionality and usability of their scheduling solution through use of the Microsoft-based platform,” said Peter van der Zouwe, Director, Developer and Platform Group, Microsoft Canada Co. “We look forward to assisting Actenum Corporation by providing the tools to help accelerate its product development.”
“Our upcoming investments in the Microsoft-based platform will enable us to reach new customers, and better serve our existing customers. The additional benefits offered through the Microsoft NXT initiative will enable us to migrate our applications to Microsoft-based technology faster,” said Morten Irgens, Actenum's Chief Technical Officer. “We are pleased to work with Microsoft and to participate in this initiative.”
