Walled Lake, Michigan, April 7, 2010 ― Paramount Technologies, the leading global provider of web-based procurement, project, time and expense solutions for midmarket organizations, announced today that it has again been named a technology Front Runner by Microsoft, this time in recognition of making its WorkPlace application suite compatible with SQL Server® 2008 R2.  All WorkPlace applications utilize Microsoft SQL Server relational database technology for enhanced scalability and fast transaction processing.  WorkPlace products in combination with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 assure customers robust financial management backed up by Microsoft's latest server technology.

The Front Runner program is designed to assist and recognize Microsoft Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) like Paramount Technologies who are early-adopters and are developing on the very latest Microsoft technologies.

“The Front Runner program offers partners technical and marketing support in order to provide them with a rich environment for development,” said Claude Lorenson, director of SQL Server marketing at Microsoft.  “Microsoft is determined to drive innovative solutions for our partner community to aid in its success in the market.”

“Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 is an innovative platform and Paramount Technologies is geared up to support this latest technology,” said Salim Khalife, President and CEO, Paramount Technologies.  “Front Runner status allows us to build and deliver business applications to our customers within the same timeframe as the launch of SQL Server 2008 R2.  The solution we have developed puts us in the unique position to offer our customers the best experience from their technology investments.”

The Paramount Technologies WorkPlace Suite includes WorkPlace eProcurement, WorkPlace Project, WorkPlace Time and WorkPlace Expense.  WorkPlace eProcurement automates and accelerates traditionally inefficient paper-based requisition processes, reducing direct and indirect purchasing costs, reducing requisition-to-order costs and cycle time, increasing control over business transactions and streamlining employee requisition management.
