ESL, which was established in 1993, offers consultancy, system design and application development. Using a wide variety of technologies, ESL’s projects include the design and implementation of globally distributed systems covering applications such as workflow, resource management, CTI, and trading systems.

The Microsoft Certified Partner Program is an enhancement of the previous Microsoft Certified Solution Provider Program. ESL will benefit from Microsoft’s support and additional resources to help them build further solutions around Microsoft technologies. In addition, ESL will be brought into contact with ASPs, systems integrators, custom developers, e-business and enterprise systems providers.

Russ Cole, Managing Director, ESL, said: “This is great news for ESL. We have developed all our software to work seamlessly with Microsoft applications, recognising the importance of these packages to our customers. Becoming a Microsoft Certified Partner not only provides us with tangible benefits, it is also a hugely valuable independent endorsement.”
