Eurostep .Net Awards 2008 Winner
Eurostep won the Microsoft .Net awards in the ISV category with its standards-based PLM collaboration software Share-A-space®. The prize ceremony took place in Kista, Sweden, on September 4th, as part of the Microsoft Summit.
With the highest number of submission ever, the jury’s motivation for awarding the title to Eurostep and Share-A-space® was: "For a product that with SOA (service oriented architecture) and the latest technology from Microsoft brings order to complex product data management within and between organizations in a secure and efficient way."
“We are very excited about winning the .NET Award”, says Håkan Kårdén, CEO Eurostep Group. “The combination of standards such as STEP and PLCS with the latest technology provided by Microsoft will mean a lot for the acceptance of standards-based PLM. Eurostep and other organizations have invested hundreds of man-years in making sure that the STEP and PLCS standards reflect the needs of the end users. The acceptance and implementation of these standards require that the results brought to the market by the STEP and PLCS communities work in harmony with existing IT infrastructure, where Microsoft is a key player. This endorsement from Microsoft signals “buy in” from a huge and global market looking for next generation PLM”, ends Mr Kårdén.
In 2008, Share-A-space® was certified for Windows Server 2008 and Eurostep became a Microsoft Gold Partner.
