The partnership ensures that Selligent solutions will be compatible with the leading Microsoft packages - SQL Server, Windows NT, Microsoft Office and Microsoft Outlook.

Michel Doric, VP of Marketing and Business Development for Selligent commented: "Partnering with Microsoft is part of Selligent's aim of ensuring that its CRM solutions are compatible with mainstream software platforms and applications. Our customers will therefore be assured of using a packaged solution that is compliant with the world's major operating systems.
The alliance sees Selligent take the lead in its marketplace and demonstrate that CRM solutions have become crucial to best practice in business. CRM as a concept is now as essential in the strategic plan of a business as ERP systems were in the past."
