Fullscope's Channel Efforts Gain Momentum

Fullscope, Inc ., a Microsoft Gold Certified business partner and one of the initial participants in the Microsoft Industry Builder program, emphasized its commitment to the new Microsoft Dynamics Industry Solutions program unveiled at Convergence 2007 and announced continued strong development of its reseller efforts.

Fullscope builds and supports Process Industries for Microsoft Dynamics AX, part of Microsoft's enterprise resource planning (ERP) product line, under the current Industry Builder program. Part of Fullscope's Industry Builder responsibility is to develop the worldwide reseller channel for the Process solution. Microsoft recently announced the next phase of the Industry Builder program in a press release issued March 13, 2007:

"The Microsoft Dynamics Industry Solutions program will encompass the current Industry Builder program as well as other new initiatives. For Industry Builder members, the new program offers significantly improved benefits and revenue opportunities, and for customers, tightly integrated industry modules that will ship simultaneously with core Microsoft Dynamics releases and service packs."

"We are committed to do our part to help Microsoft deliver on the next generation of solutions under the Industry Builder program," said John Scandar, executive vice president and co-founder of Fullscope. "This change will let us create a stronger, development-focused relationship with Microsoft that will benefit our customers by bringing even deeper process industry functionality into the industry version of Microsoft Dynamics AX. Importantly, program improvements such as the simultaneous release of industry versions and standard AX will greatly please our core customers-upper mid-market and enterprise manufacturers."

Worldwide Resellers

In the past six months Fullscope has authorized over 100 Process Industries for Microsoft Dynamics AX resellers in more than 35 countries. "We are committed to help Process Industries for Microsoft Dynamics AX become the fastest growing ERP solution worldwide, and the momentum from our reseller channel, along with the new Microsoft Dynamics Industry Solution program, should help us achieve our goal faster than we initially anticipated," Scandar said.

New Process Products

On April 5, 2007, Fullscope announced the availability of a new software and services product, FDA Validation Workbench, designed to assist life sciences companies to achieve and maintain U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) validation. It includes software for tracking and managing validation activities, templates for completing the documentation required by the U.S. FDA, documentation for a vendor audit of Process Industries for Microsoft Dynamics AX, and consulting services to assist the manufacturer in completing the validation process. Please see the separate FDA press release for more information.
