About this update from Crimson Tide Plc
[{"type":"text","content":"\n Crimson Tide PLC\n24 April 2008\n\n\n Crimson Tide plc ('Crimson Tide' or the 'Company')\n \n Crimson Tide entered for Microsoft's \n 'Mobility Solutions Partner of the Year' Award\n \n 24 April 2008\n\n\nCrimson Tide plc is pleased to announce that it has been entered into the\n'Mobility Solutions Partner of the Year' category at Microsoft's World Wide\nPartner Awards 2008 following recognition of its mPro solution which allows\nbusinesses to increase workforce productivity and efficiency by mobilising\nfacilities management forms onto a handheld device.\n\nThe entry follows the adoption of Crimson Tide's mPro solution by VerryFM, a\nleader in the provision of fabric maintenance, moves and changes and special\nprojects.

The application\nautomatically generates web reports making information pertaining to Service\nLevel Agreements easier to view. The solution is provided on a monthly\nsubscription which includes hardware, software and hosting.\n\nAs a result of the solution being deployed, VerryFM has not only experienced\ngreater efficiency in its processes and use of resources but also reduced\noverheads and improved customer service.\n\nThe mPro solution has attracted great interest and has also been deployed by\nseveral other high profile companies, including Knight Frank and Marks &\nSpencer.\n\nExecutive Chairman, Barrie Whipp commented: 'I am delighted that our mPro\nsolution has received this recognition and that the company has been entered for\nthese prestigious awards.
