Amongst the glare of the spotlight in the technology industry, it’s often the big players — the Microsofts, the Googles and the Apples of the world – that tend to get the most attention. But there are many quiet achievers and unsung heroes that walk among us. They work with tireless energy and passion to bring Microsoft technology alive and help drive amazing levels of innovation and transformation in organisations across Australia.
In Australia, Microsoft works with a community of over 14,000 partners and late yesterday afternoon, at our annual Partner Conference, Pip Marlow, Managing Director, and Dean Swan, Partner Director, announced the winners of the 2013 Microsoft Australia Partner Awards (MAPAs).
