11/12/2006

Rockville, MD (November 12, 2006) – Portal Solutions, the leader in helping organizations achieve superior business value from Microsoft SharePoint, announced that it will be one of the few Microsoft Gold Certified Partners exhibiting at the January 31, 2007 Washington DC launch event for the 2007 version of Microsoft Office. Over 2,000 Microsoft customers are expected to attend the launch that Microsoft is calling the most important product launch in the company’s history. In addition to Microsoft 2007, which includes Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services V3, the company will be introducing the new versions of Windows (Vista) and Exchange Server 2007.

The Washington DC launch will be held at the Hilton Washington, 1919 Connecticut Avenue, NW on January 30, starting at 9am.

Microsoft recently announced that Windows Vista and the 2007 Microsoft Office release marks the beginning of the most significant product launch in company history and the first simultaneous release of Microsoft’s flagship products since the joint launch of the Windows® 95 operating system and Office 95 more than a decade ago. Windows Vista and the 2007 Office system will be available to consumers and organizations without volume license agreements on Jan. 30.

At a press conference in New York in late November pre-announcing the launch, Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer said the new versions of Windows, Office and Exchange Server 2007 are the result of an unprecedented collaboration between Microsoft and its customers. Real-life scenarios guided product development through feedback from customers who volunteered to let Microsoft watch them work in more than 1 billion user sessions. During testing, customers from around the world downloaded more than 5 million beta versions of the products and provided valuable feedback and suggestions.

“These are game-changing products,” Ballmer said. “It’s an incredible step forward for business computing in a year of unprecedented innovation from Microsoft. We expect that more than 200 million people will be using at least one of these products by the end of 2007.”

Daniel Cohen-Dumani, CEO at Portal Solutions, said, “The launch event will be a great way for our customers to see the great new innovative technology Microsoft is bringing to the market. We’re especially excited about the new version of SharePoint and look forward to meeting executives at companies who are looking to extend their extranet and intranet strategies to gain business value.”
