Redwood City, California, August 21, 2006 - Tectura® the leading Microsoft Dynamics™ partner and number one provider of Microsoft-based ERP, CRM and technology solutions to mid-market companies, larger enterprises and their divisions, recently returned from the prestigious 2006 Microsoft Dynamics Inner Circle partner event in Aspen, CO, with accolades.
Inner Circle invitations are awarded to the top 1% of Microsoft Business Solutions partners. The event provides an intimate, yet casual business environment for partners to discuss current business issues and trends, share business strategies and challenges as well as network with Microsoft Dynamics leaders and other business partners from around the world.
Terry Petrzelka, chief executive officer of Tectura, said, "Microsoft's Inner Circle Retreat provides a valuable opportunity to network with executives from Microsoft Business Solutions and with other top partners, providing an ideal venue to discuss relevant business topics we each are facing today. Understanding differing perspectives and how variables change across geographies for both the partner channel and Microsoft is key as Tectura continues to evolve our business. This one of the great benefits of being among Microsoft's top performing 1% of partners."
Tectura actively participates at this event, collecting insight and providing feedback on the state of the global markets. Attending this year's event on behalf of Tectura was: Terry Petrzelka, Chief Executive Officer; Duane Bell, Chief Financial Officer; Jeff Lynn, Chief Operations Officer; Eric Fung, Executive VP Asia; Joerg Niermann, Executive VP Central & Eastern Europe; Claus Hansen, Executive VP Northwestern & Southern Europe; John Matterson, Executive VP North American Operations; and Dave Savel, Executive VP North American Sales.
This year, Microsoft strategically aligned breakout discussion groups by regions. This allowed for geographically-focused discussions on business issues each of the regions were facing. "I believe the resulting discussions were not only positive for the partners who participated, but also a benefit to Microsoft executives. Understanding a specific region's most urgent challenges allows Microsoft to better prioritize where they, in turn, might further focus assisting their partners", commented Eric Fung.
"The format of the breakout sessions was great. As an executive focused on North America, it was great to work with partners that had the same market challenges. The Best Practices discussion provided some insight I had not previously considered, and certainly provided some valuable feedback for the Microsoft team", stated John Matterson.
Somewhat unique, Tectura was honored to have the opportunity to bring leadership representation from Europe, Asia, and the Americas to this year's Inner Circle event. "As we continue to evolve our businesses, this level of partner networking and executive business discussion become increasingly critical. Tectura looks forward to earning an invitation to next year's event, where we can then reflect on the changes and growth we aim to drive over the next twelve months", stated Jeff Lynn.
