Technology Associates International and CIBER UK Announce Strategic Partnership
Technology Associates International Limited and CIBER UK Limited today announced a joint strategic partnership to offer reciprocal services to each other and which will allow both companies to extend the services to their client base.
Technology Associates International, who specialise in the Microsoft Office Enterprise Project Management Solution (EPM) will be able to offer Microsoft Dynamics AX Finance and Enterprise Resource Management and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) services to their customer base, and in turn CIBER who, as a Microsoft Dynamics Partner will be able to offer Enterprise Project Management (EPM) solutions to their customers.
"With the recent launch of Dynamics AX 2009 and the in-built integration with Microsoft Project Server 2007, we see that demand for combined expertise in both areas will be of vital importance for many customers. It also means that it now provides a logical way forward for customers to extend their technology stack, embracing all the features of corporate finance and Enterprise Project Management under the Microsoft banner" said Kelvin Kirby, MD of Technology Associates International. ”We are delighted with this announcement. It means we will be working with one of the leading Microsoft Dynamics Partners in the UK, and we are excited about the opportunities this brings for both companies."
Andrew Cox, Product Manager at CIBER UK, commented on the alliance, “We are pleased to announce the joint strategic partnership between CIBER and Technology Associates. We have focused on the professional services and the project based organisations market sector for a number of years now and have been aware of Technology Associates market presence for some time. We are seeing an increased need for EPM and Microsoft Dynamics to work together and as leading partners, we are confident that we can collaborate for maximum benefit to our customers.”
Both companies will work together to extend and support customers with the Microsoft Project Server integration capabilities, both from a business process perspective and from a customisation aspect. Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 is the business management solution of choice for many mid-market companies, whilst the Enterprise Project Management solution provides exceptional functionality and features for managing Programmes, Projects and Resources. "It was a logical choice to link the two applications. In terms of process an initial quote can be built inside of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 and a project created automatically in Project Server. The flow of information between the two applications should be seamless for the users, with no duplication of data" said PJ Mistry, Senior EPM Consultant at Technology Associates International.
