        Looking to Microsoft Partner Network to Expand Opportunities in New Markets

Unidevannounces its search for Microsoft Partners in North America, Asia and Europe to implement their global web content management (CMS) system, Auctori™. As a 16 year Certified Microsoft Partner, we are looking to leverage the Microsoft Partner Channel Builder to deepen our services and solutions to more complex business opportunities, to provide a broader range of client services and to create business relationships with other partners whose skills complement our own.

“The Microsoft Partner Channel Builder is one of the key sales enablement benefits of our Microsoft relationship, and is an excellent way to combine our expertise and resources. We are looking forward to connecting with industry partners to form new alliances and deliver the end-to-end solutions that address customers’ business needs,” said Greg Alexander, CEO, Unidev. “This tool, with its two-way model, is making Microsoft Partner communications much easier.”

Auctori, a .Net SaaS CMS Platform, was developed by Unidev for multi-national companies, and currently supports a number of European, North American and Asian sites. This system supports multi-lingual site management and site deployment. Auctori was built from the ground up in conjunction with a team of search engine optimization (SEO) specialist to implement best SEO practices. The next release of Auctori is scheduled for the first quarter of 2010, and will feature European and Asian hosting in addition to its current North American hosting, with all sites and platforms managed from a single console.

2009 was a good year for Unified Development, Inc. (unidev) and The Net Impact and it looks like 2010 could be a great year. This is a big improvement over the previous couple of years where we saw a very real slow down in overall IT spending especially on the new development side. Our development revenues were up this year. We’ve been very fortunate that most of our customers continued to invest in IT during those years even as their revenues were down. We also saw strong growth in our marketing and web group which has grown from only a few people in 2006 to over 20 today.
The big news for 2009 was the public launch of our Auctori line of enterprise content management systems. This uniquely architected SaaS solution was designed to integrate SEO best practices across the board as well as to be a true global web platform. It is already deployed in several law firms, cities, and global industrial products and medical supply companies. There are sites in over a dozen languages with more being added monthly.
The other big news for 2009 was our headquarters move to the Dierbergs building in Chesterfield. The new larger office was designed by us to suit the very open, communicative and friendly environment we wanted. Dierbergs and their contractors did an amazing job on the buildout of the space. It far exceeded my expectations.
2010 will bring a number of challenges and changes to our organization as I hope the economy begins its recovery. We made significant investments in training, software and management to continually improve the quality and speed of delivery of our services, products and processes. We feel we are well positioned to capture new business and really look forward to a great year.
