Market Update - VMob Receives 2015 Partner of the Year Award at Microsoft
Worldwide Partner Conference.
VMob, an intelligent personalisation platform built as a software as a
service (SaaS) model specifically for marketers, recently accepted the 2015
Microsoft Partner of the Year Award at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner
Conference, held in Orlando July 12 - 16, 2015. This recognition caps off a
highly successful appearance at the event, during which the company discussed
its partnership with Microsoft in the opening keynote.
VMob CEO Scott Bradley was presented with Partner of the Year Award for the
Cloud Platform: Application Innovation category during the awards luncheon on
Monday, July 13. This prestigious award program recognises partners that have
delivered exemplary solutions built upon Microsoft technologies, with winners
chosen from a set of more than 2,300 entrants from 108 different countries
worldwide. This year, Microsoft recognised partners in 43 categories that
celebrate each of the core partner competencies, with winners such as VMob
selected on their commitment to customers, their solution's market impact and
exemplary use of Microsoft technologies.
Bradley commented, "VMob is committed to developing the industry-leading
solutions that enable our clients to drive revenue through increased
in-person sales, foot traffic, return visits and more; working with Microsoft
is crucial to making that happen. We are thrilled to be recognised with this
prestigious award, which highlights the enormous success we've had as a
result of our aligned efforts with Microsoft, and we are honoured to be in
such great company with the other winners."
"This year's award winners are among the most innovative and valuable our
partner ecosystem has to offer. Therefore, it came as no surprise that VMob
was named among that group as this year's winners of the 2015 Microsoft
Partner of the Year Award for Cloud Platform: Application Innovation," said
Phil Sorgen, Corporate Vice President, Worldwide Partner Group, Microsoft
Corp. "We applaud VMob on this achievement and for the outstanding value it
continues to provide for our mutual customers."
In addition to this high-profile recognition, the company played a prominent
role in the Worldwide Partner Conference, being featured in the event's
vision keynote. During this session, Bradley shared how his company's use of
the Microsoft Azure and Power BI solutions has driven significant success for
a global quick service restaurant client. As a result, the client has been
able to increase customer loyalty, experience higher conversion rates and
benefit from additional revenue streams. Scott Bradley's section of the
keynote presentation with Scott Guthrie can be viewed here:

Building on this momentum, VMob also recently announced its latest
integration with Microsoft Azure Mobile Engagement. This new integration will
provide existing Azure Mobile Engagement users with an easy way to add on
VMob's solution, while enhancing the company's agility and ability to deploy
new services more quickly.
