SoftServe, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and a preferred software development outsourcing vendor, today announced that the company became an exclusive delivery partner for the Microsoft NXT program, first in Eastern Europe. The NXT Program is a new end-to-end initiative designed specifically for independent software vendors (ISVs) to assist in adopting the Microsoft platform and associated technologies (www.isvnxt.com).

The Microsoft NXT Program provides numerous benefits, resources, and services for every step of migration, from planning through product launch and beyond to software companies that want to migrate or cross-platform their primary solutions to the Microsoft platform. Through the Program, a vendor will be connected with a delivery partner matching vendor’s business needs to help execute the migration process. Furthermore, the vendor will be assisted to join the Microsoft Partner Program through NXT and exposed to the valuable benefits that will help market and sell new Microsoft-based solutions.

“We are happy to join such comprehensive ISV partner initiative and strengthen our relationship with Microsoft to provide our clients with additional advantages to help them fulfill their long-term strategic technology plans”, said Serhiy Kharytonov, SoftServe’s EVP Research/Development Services. “By adding our expertise to the NXT initiative, we can continue to assist vendors that are looking to make the process of adopting Microsoft technologies faster, easier and more cost-effective.”

Based on its history of software engineering on Microsoft platforms, SoftServe has unique capabilities in providing excellent delivery service to assist ISVs in migrating their products or solutions to Microsoft technologies. With a core expertise in ISV software solutions, the company officially joined the NXT Program as supporting partner in new top-notch technologies such as Microsoft Silverlight™ and Office Business Applications (OBA).

Microsoft Silverlight™ is a cross-browser, cross-platform, and cross-device plug-in for delivering the next generation of .NET based media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web.

Office Business Applications (OBA) are an emerging breed of application that leverages the platform capabilities of the Office system, to bridge the results gap currently existing between line of business systems and end-user productivity tools. Office Business Applications allow users to increase productivity by providing a seamless and integrated end to end user experience from their desktop to data in ERP, CRM, SCM, and other business systems.
