Azaleos Named Finalist in Washington Technology Industry Association Awards
1/27/2009
SEATTLE, Jan. 27, 2009 -- Azaleos® Corporation, the managed Microsoft Exchange services company, today announced that it was selected as a finalist in the 14th Annual Washington Technology Industry Association’s (WTIA) Industry Achievement Awards in the Service Provider of the Year category.
Each year, WTIA acknowledges Washington companies and organizations that demonstrate outstanding innovation and excellence in technology. The winner in the Service Provider of the Year category will be recognized for supplying the most exemplary technology service to the industry. This vendor will have demonstrated effective use of technology to bring extraordinary quality, creativity and responsiveness to customers, and will have regularly exceeded their customers’ expectations.
“We are honored to have been selected as a Finalist in the WTIA Achievement Awards,” said Scott Gode, vice president of product management for Azaleos. “Our unique hybrid services provide organizations who want to outsource the management of their Microsoft Exchange e-mail systems an alternative to hosted e-mail providers. Unlike hosted e-mail, Azaleos services allow companies to keep their e-mail infrastructure and data safely in-house, while off-loading care and maintenance to our expert staff. Generally we can save companies up to 10% of the cost of hosted e-mail providers and up to 50% of the cost to manage their email themselves.”
The WTIA will announce the winners at its annual Industry Achievement Awards party on March 25. This year’s celebration, which will be held at The Paramount Theater, also marks the 25th anniversary of the WTIA. The event will be catered by Tom Douglas and will feature interactive gaming lounges, a technology showcase, and a look back at the past 25 years of the local technology community.
