The Awards will be presented in a number of categories, with winners chosen from a pool of more than 1,800 entrants worldwide. The Citizenship Partner of the Year award recognizes exceptional partners that have made a sustained commitment to society and their communities and can demonstrate the impact of their work. The winning partner may work with a nonprofit in an innovative way to empower underserved communities by giving access to technology or technology skills training, and will have made a unique and positive impact in making the knowledge economy more accessible.

Satyam’s nominated solution is “Emergency Management & Research Institute”(EMRI), which is the emergency response system formed to ensure the safety of Indian citizens. It was formed by the Raju brothers as a not-for-profit entity to provide not only emergency management, but also to conduct research related to emergencies and provide various training programs. EMRI wanted to create an end-to-end system that would automate all the activities of a call center, such as reaching the emergency, ambulance tracking, and monitoring the patient care process. EMRI, along with its technology partner, Satyam, created an emergency response system using Microsoft® .NET.

“We have a diverse and talented partner ecosystem that each year raises the bar in the design and deployment of customer solutions built on Microsoft technologies,”said Allison L. Watson, corporate vice president, Microsoft Worldwide Partner Group. “We are pleased to recognize Satyam Computer Services as one of our partners leading the field in this category.”

The Microsoft Partner Program Awards recognize Microsoft Partners that have developed and delivered exceptional Microsoft-based solutions over the past year.
