Walled Lake, Michigan, September 10, 2009 ― Paramount Technologies, the leading global provider of midmarket Employee Workforce Automation solutions, announced today that it has been named a technology Front Runner by Microsoft in recognition of making its WorkPlace application suite compatible with Windows® 7 and Windows Server® 2008 R2.  The Front Runner program is designed to assist and recognize Microsoft Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) like Paramount Technologies who are early-adopters and are developing on the very latest Microsoft technologies.

“Our ISV community is alive with innovation, and we’re committed to helping our partners drive the next generation of software experiences,” said Ross Brown, Vice President of ISV and Solutions Partners for the Worldwide Partner Group at Microsoft.  “Adding compatibility for the latest Microsoft operating systems helps ISVs to stay ahead of the competition and give their customers access to cutting-edge technologies.”
