What I find really interesting is that OBJ jumped the queue past all these Excellence Award winners to be among the select few Partners of the Year.   I would like to suggest that giving OBJ this award is as much for P&G own benefit as it is for OBJ.  In other words, P&G are bringing OBJ out of obscurity in order to give greater credibility to the micro-array and Tech II products to come.
