Orangutech is the winner of the 2009 Microsoft Canada Partner of the Year Award
Orangutech, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, proudly announced today it has received the 2009 Microsoft Canada Partner of Year Award. The seventh annual IMPACT Awards recognize excellence within the Microsoft technology partner community in Canada as well as the innovative solutions and value they deliver to customers. The IMPACT Awards also acknowledge technology partners for their achievements beyond revenue, growth and innovation, including awards for customer service, marketing and contribution to their communities.
"The IMPACT Awards is an annual opportunity to recognize and celebrate top technology partners who have shown outstanding service to customers and are paving the way for innovation in their respective fields." Corinne Sharp, National Director, Canadian Partner channel, Microsoft Canada Co.
Orangutech won the award for the IAMCP Partner of Year, for the Road to New Orleans project in July of 2009.
These awards are in recognition of Orangutech's leadership within the Microsoft Partner Network, the IAMCP, and the work involved with the clients.
The objective of the Road to New Orleans initiative was to bring Microsoft Partner Community awareness to the forefront for those attending and those that may not see the value in attending, promote the IAMCP, and minimize the environmental footprint by promoting Green IT. To accomplish this mission, we met with many partners along the way in Canada and USA in order to bring the Microsoft Partner Community closer together, to be more advocate about the importance of the P2P and the importance of educating other partners on the positive stimulus that organization can have as part of the IAMCP and the Microsoft Partner Network.
"We want to thank Microsoft Canada, the Microsoft Partner Network team, and the IAMCP for all their support throughout our projects; we're honoured to receive this award and proud to be a Microsoft Partner and a member of the IAMCP," said Mike Maadarani, President and CEO, Orangutech.

Orangutech wins the Hospital for Sick Children (www.aboutkidshealth.ca) MOSS 2007 web site re-design.
Orangutech has been chosen to re-design the AboutKidsHealth web site for the Hospital for Sick Children. A key component to the project is the implementation of a Web Content Management System (WCMS) that allows the author to manage medical articles and publish media files to the www.aboutkidshealth.ca site. This system will be the content management platform that delivers all web-based content to end users and provides the content owners with the ability to publish content of various types much more easily.
The WCMS will also manage this content through new content lifecycle which will be developed as part of this project, will allow content syndication across the site, and will provide search engine optimization. It is envisioned that the WCMS will in subsequent phases, evolve within the AKH into an Enterprise Content Management System to become the cornerstone for corporate document management and collaboration.

TORONTO, Ontario, Canada – April 15 , 2009
The Ontario Hospital Association (OHA), in partnership with Orangutech Inc., releases My Hospital Care out to the general public on April 15th.
My Hospital Care is a new website promoting better public access to hospital performance information that’s easy-to-understand and navigate.
myhospitalcare.ca allows users to learn more about how Ontario hospitals are performing by location, type of care, or one of 39 different indicators. The web site was built leveraging Microsoft SharePoint 2007 and housed within Microsoft SQL Server 2008 data mart. The choice for selecting Microsoft technologies for this initiative was based upon ease of content management and the need for several key integration elements that SQL Server 2008 best fit into. This web content management and business intelligence solution is a prime example how these Microsoft technologies can be leveraged for public consumption far beyond the typical practice of leveraging SharePoint for web content management alone.
Orangutech Inc. is proud to be a key contributor to the success of this rollout and continues to help support the Ontario Hospital Association on future betterment of healthcare across Ontario.
