Gold Certified Partner Newsletter

April 22, 2008

 

From the Editor

Welcome to the first edition of our redesigned newsletter. We've made specific changes to help you get the information and resources you need, faster.

You'll see fewer stories, carefully selected to bring you the most relevant information. A lighter, more streamlined design to ease readability. Program resources in one place for quick, consistent access. And a single cover story that focuses each issue on a timely, globally relevant business topic.

Find alerts about the latest events, software releases, and other news in the top-right corner to give you a familiar place to check and stay current. Partner Portal resources are grouped in the right column so you can maintain your membership and get help on the fly.

We look forward to hearing what you think about the new design and approach. Send us your comments.

Blue Acacia Helps Honda Motorcycle France Launch 3-D Interactive Website

What happens when a cutting-edge Web development firm collides with an equally innovative customer with a passion for quality? A site that showcases an industry icon's hottest products through advanced technology. Can be updated--fast. And loads with greased-lightning speed. Microsoft partner Blue Acacia turned up the throttle on new business when its team built a visually incredible website on the Microsoft Web Solutions platform for Honda Motorcycle France. Using the Microsoft .NET Framework, XML, and AJAX, the site kick-started interest the day it launched, when 600,000 visitors took it for a spin. What's next: A custom-built 3-D virtual showroom that will enable Honda enthusiasts to design their own motorcycles. Read the full story.

Web developers and designers like Blue Acacia are taking their business vision and creative skills and turning them into revenue-generating reality. Integrate the tools you use today with a new portfolio of Microsoft technologies--including the Microsoft Expression family and Microsoft Silverlight--to create rich, compelling, cross-browser experiences. Without investing a lot of time or financial resources. Find out more about how you can deliver the experiences customers demand, using the skills you already have.
