Plextek promoted to Microsoft Windows® Embedded Silver Partner

Issued 20/02/2008

Plextek, the Cambridge-based electronics and communications design consultancy, has been promoted to a Silver Partner in Microsoft's Windows® Embedded Partner (MSWEP) Program. This premium level status recognises Plextek's best-in-class Windows embedded design expertise and is part of a strategic EMEA initiative that provides partners with increased business opportunities, fast track support and training advantages.

Microsoft promoted Plextek from a registered member to a Silver Partner as a result of its breadth of embedded software design expertise and its ongoing commitment to using Microsoft's embedded solutions in the complete product designs it undertakes on behalf of its customers.

Manoj Rami, Senior Marketing Manager, Windows Embedded Business Group, Microsoft EMEA comments: "The Microsoft Windows Embedded Partner Program is a strategic world-wide program focused on providing partners with increased business opportunities, market awareness and technology advice. Being recognized as a Windows Embedded Partner helps give added strength in the marketplace to support your next customer".

Plextek's strength is in designing electronics products for defence, security, medical and wireless communication applications which require functional complexity and aggressive development time scales. Plextek's embedded software development process covers all phases of the design life cycle, from the creation of ideas right through to the manufacture of products. This process has the flexibility to be adapted for rapid prototyping or rigorous enough to provide a confident path through to volume production, either way helping clients to shorten product development cycles and reduce the total time-to-market.

Tim Phipps, Sales & Marketing Director at Plextek comments: "Our promotion to Silver status in this exclusive program demonstrates the value and expertise we bring to the market through our electronic product designs using Microsoft's software. As the UK's only Silver Partner, this enhanced acknowledgement and recognition by Microsoft will play a big part in helping us capture new opportunities and offer our customers better solutions."
