- We are very pleased with the ISV/Software Solution Partner of the Year award granted by Microsoft to Comarch for the Comarch ALTUM system at the worldwide conference in Houston, USA in July of this year. Comarch SA, bearing the expense of extensive research and development, has become one of the world leaders in the corporate software production market. The Comarch ALTUM system is a positive example of the productive results achieved from using the latest Microsoft tools.

The system enables the implementation of functionalities such as configurable WORK Flow and Business Intelligence for small and medium companies that until now, were only available for large corporations. The ergonomics and process orientation of the system arise from Comarch’s 15 years of experience in ERP system production. Development of this innovative product on the international level was possible thanks to the long lasting and profound cooperation between both companies. Within this strategic partnership Comarch engineers had solid access to the latest pre-commercial Microsoft technologies elaborated in the Redmont laboratories – said Professor Janusz Filipiak, President and CEO, Comarch S.A.

The Microsoft prize is the third international success of the latest ERP system by Comarch. In March of this year, just three weeks after its international premiere, Comarch ALTUM was granted the “Innovations Produkt” award in the most innovative ERP system contest organized during the CeBIT trade fair. The prestigious prize and title of “Best Solution Provider Product / Solution” was awarded to Comarch ALTUM during Gartner’s “IT ChannelVision Europe 2008’ conference, where the latest Comarch solution was acclaimed by a contest jury as well as a majority of managers from nearly 200 companies from IT businesses from all over the world.

It was presented in Germany, Ukraine, Italy, the United States and Great Britain. Comarch ALTUM is an innovative and process orientated solution for medium and large companies of the trade and services sector.
