Systemgroup Wins Data Management Solution of the Year in 2007 Microsoft Partner Program IMPACT Awards

Annual Microsoft Awards recognize Canadian technology partners’ and their commitment and leadership in the channel community

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario – November 5, 2007 – Systemgroup announced today that it has been selected as the winner in the Data management of the Year at the 2007 Microsoft Partner Program IMPACT Awards. The fifth annual IMPACT awards recognize excellence across the large and diverse community of Microsoft’s Canadian technology partners. The winners were announced at a gala event in Toronto on November 1, 2007.

"We are thrilled that Systemgroup has won a Microsoft Partner Program IMPACT award. As true leaders in their fields, technology partners continue to deliver the most innovative solutions to help clients optimize their business performance,” said Lora Gernon, Director, Partner Group, Microsoft Canada Co. “Our annual IMPACT Awards is an opportunity to celebrate top technology partners who have demonstrated their leadership and shown true dedication through their tremendous support and service to customers."

Systemgroup was chosen as the winner in Data Management of the Year for TD Canada Trust’s Call Centre Performance Management solution. TD Canada Trust eBank division provides telephone support to both internal and external clients. Delivery of high quality service to their customers is paramount to the e-Bank’s success. A key element to delivering that level of service is through the measurement of each call centre specialist’s performance.

Systemgroup, working closely with TD Canada Trust, designed, developed and deployed the next generation Employee Scorecard Program (ESP). The ESP, accessible to all call centre specialists via the intranet, tracks and reports on more than 50 KPIs and compares their performance to their peers within their team, group or business unit. TD Canada Trust maintains that this new performance measurement tool will change the way they manage their business.

"We are extremely honoured to receive this award in recognition of the ability of our people to develop highly effective data management and business intelligence solutions for our clients," said Ken Ryder, President.

Systemgroup, along with other technology partner winners and finalists in each of the award categories, was honoured at a gala event in Toronto on November 1, 2007.
