WASHINGTON, DC, Apr 17 (MARKET WIRE) --
Cynergy Systems, Inc., a global leader in Rich Internet Application (RIA)
design and development, today announced it has been selected by Microsoft Corp.
to participate in the Microsoft Global Agency Initiative. This
invitation-only initiative has resulted in a group of the top 20 interactive
agencies that Microsoft recommends to its customers.
Cynergy has successfully developed a number of applications utilizing
Microsoft
Silverlight and Windows Presentation Foundation for customers. The company was
also
the national winner at last month's PhizzPop Design Challenge, a contest hosted
by Microsoft where more than 30 Web design and development firms competed to
develop the best rich Internet applications using Microsoft Silverlight. "The
contest
brought together some of the best design and development firms in the
country," said Will Tschumy, Senior User Experience Evangelist for Microsoft, in
a
recent Microsoft PressPass posting showcasing Cynergy's win.
Cynergy's solution, "ben" is a series of interconnected, cross-platform
applications
based on Microsoft Silverlight, Windows Presentation Foundation, Live Services,
Twitter and voice-over-IP (VoIP) technologies. In addition to being selected as
the
national winner by the panel of judges, Cynergy's application also won the
People's Choice award.
Barbara Lovelace, Senior Platform Evangelism Manager, Microsoft Corp., said,
"Among our criteria for inclusion in our Global Agency Initiative is the
agency's level of influence. Cynergy has consistently and repeatedly
demonstrated
its influence as a leading global provider of RIAs, both in
business-to-consumer and business-to-business applications. Its national win at
our PhizzPop Design Challenge further underscores the team's ability to create a
useful and innovative application in a very short time."
Dave Wolf, Vice President, Cynergy, said, "Cynergy is honored to have been
invited into the Microsoft Global Agency Initiative. Our strong focus on
Silverlight-powered rich Internet application design and development has
rapidly catapulted our business to the forefront of the RIA market as a
serious leader, and Microsoft's recognition of our momentum is powerful
validation."
He continued, "What's compelling about the Microsoft platform is that the
designer-to-developer workflow is baked into their tools, and that makes
itfundamentally easier for us to write these solutions. The tools were designed
to do business the way we do things, utilizing our LookFirst user experience
centric approach to development, so we don't have to force the tool to work
differently or -- worse -- change that we work to match the tool."
