Microsoft and Infinite Group Enter Into Master Services Agreement
July 20 2009 - 8:30AM
Business Wire
Infinite Group, Inc. (OTCBB:IMCI) today announced that it has
entered into a nationwide Master Services Agreement (MSA) with
Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT). Under the agreement, Infinite
Group, Inc. (IGI) can engage Microsoft services on a formal
Prime/Subcontractor basis in support of client projects. The MSA
provides an agreed-upon structure that enables the parties to work
together quickly through a Statement of Service and engage on
time-critical projects more efficiently.
As a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, IGI is working directly
with Microsoft Sales and Services Engineers to pursue business
development opportunities at the State Government level in the
Southeastern US. While IGI will offer a range of Microsoft
solutions, the initial focus of the MSA will be on messaging and
collaboration initiatives. State governments have a compelling need
for unified communication and collaboration across agencies, and
the combination of IGI and Microsoft will readily provide
integrated and adaptable business solutions on virtual machines
running Windows 2008 R2 Active Directory, Exchange 2007, and
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server. Overall manageability is also
simplified by using IGI System Center experts for new �zero touch�
deployments, operational efficiency, and data protection
management.
�Our relationship with Microsoft continues to grow and create
new and exciting opportunities,� said Rodney Moore, Microsoft
Practice Director for Infinite Group. �With the range of enhanced
Microsoft offerings available under the Master Services Agreement,
IGI has extended our reach. Through packaged and professional
service offerings, IGI is now positioned with Microsoft for
delivery of leading-edge products such as Windows 7, System Center
Configuration Manager, Operations Manager Virtual Machine Manager,
Data Protection Manager, SharePoint, and Windows 2008 R2 for
Enterprise Software Assurance Customers. Ultimately, IGI and
Microsoft will help clients put together IT game plans and
implementations that deliver meaningful cost savings.�
The demand on state government IT operations is greater than
ever. Computing environments must be improved, even as budgets
shrink, by building more efficient datacenters and gaining
efficiency through virtualization and infrastructure optimization.
Careful attention must also be paid to IT security. IGI�s Microsoft
Gold Certified competencies in the areas of Advanced Infrastructure
Solutions and Unified Communications will help meet these needs and
enable IT professionals to accomplish more with shrinking
resources. IGI�s proprietary market research suggests that
Information Technology Modernization initiatives that leverage
Microsoft technology are a high priority for state IT departments.
The Master Services Agreement with Microsoft is a valuable step for
IGI, enabling delivery of efficient, fast, and robust
solutions.
�IGI and Microsoft solutions can help balance computing
efficiency and cost,� said Jim Frost, IGI�s Chief Technology
Officer. �The latest Microsoft technologies enable us to integrate
the business processes of a state agency while addressing IT
modernization objectives, and delivering overall operational
benefits.�
