Rave Computer Becomes a Microsoft Certified Partner Specializing in Providing ISV

Rave Computer, a leader in delivering hardware appliances to Independent Software Vendors (ISV's) and their customers, announced that it has earned the status of Microsoft Certified Partner. As a Certified Partner, Rave Computer has demonstrated expertise with Microsoft technologies and a proven ability to meet customers' requirements through integration, customization and value-added services.

"Only companies that have demonstrated high levels of customer service, proved their experience and attained advanced certification receive the designation of Microsoft Certified Partner," said Allison Watson, Vice President of the Worldwide Partner Sales and Marketing Group at Microsoft. "Today, Microsoft recognizes Rave for its skills and expertise in providing customer satisfaction with Microsoft products and technology."

"Formalizing our relationship with Microsoft allows Rave to expand our successful value proposition to ISV's who build their software solutions on Microsoft technologies and tools and require hardware as part of their solution," said Dave Francis, Director of Business Development for Rave. "We are seeing a growing trend, specifically in the security sector, of ISV's who are offering their software solutions preinstalled on a hardware solution and offering it as a turn-key solution to their customers. More specifically, a trend towards utilizing Microsoft platforms is growing, which makes this partnership with Microsoft a natural fit."

Once an ISV makes a determination to deliver a "bundled solution" or "appliance" to their markets, Rave designs, builds, inventories, ships and supports the complete, ready to deploy solutions directly to the end user customer on behalf of the ISV. This model allows the ISV to focus on their core competency of software development and sales efforts and offload the manufacturing, inventory and logistics of their hardware-based solutions to Rave. This partnership results in shortened sales cycles, reduction in service issues, and an ability to deliver consistent solutions globally and on time to customers at a cost that attains a real ROI for the ISV.
