MIAMI � MAY 20, 2008 � MTech is proud
to announce that its Internet-based Hotel Service Optimization System (HotSOS,
pronounced �hot sauce�), which wirelessly connects staff to each other
and streamlines guest-services workflow, has been awarded the highest level
of Microsoft Partner Program status available to independent software vendors.
Gold Partner certification is awarded to application services companies
that consistently deliver first-rate solutions on par with Microsoft�s
stringent benchmarks, demonstrating expertise with Microsoft technologies
and a proven ability to meet customers� needs.
�This is a great achievement for MTech and a strong accomplishment for HotSOS,� said Luis C. Segredo, MTech President. �This status confirms that HotSOS was developed with best practices for product performance and security built on Windows Vista, Web services and the Microsoft .NET Framework. This validation gives additional peace of mind to hotel companies considering MTech as their vendor of choice. We�d like to thank our customers for their continued praise of HotSOS and our staff, whose technology prowess continues to keep us at the forefront of software development.� The Microsoft Partner Program was created to provide market recognition
to companies providing hosting solutions that, through the program�s certification
process, have demonstrated a consistent, high-quality delivery of specific
solutions built on Microsoft technology and the .NET Framework. This program
helps end users and other critical players in the hosting solutions value
chain identify organizations that meet a high level of service readiness,
competency and capacity for deploying Microsoft technologies. The program
only awards certification status for those specific hosted or application
services/solutions that meet eligibility qualifications, proven service
quality, and operational readiness benchmarks.
�Creating an innovative and differentiated customer experience is becoming increasingly critical for hotels looking to grow in today�s competitive market,� said Sandra Andrews, U.S. hospitality industry director, Microsoft Corp. �MTech�s HotSOS solution addresses this trend by creating a better guest-services workflow experience for hotel staff, which ultimately translates to a superior experience for guests.
