Richardson, Texas – March 1, 2007 – Artis Consulting L.P. today announced it has received the Microsoft Field Partner Award for its recent Business Intelligence implementation for a large healthcare organization. Artis Consulting was the recipient of one of seven total recognitions awarded at the 2007 semi-annual Microsoft Partner Briefing held Wednesday, February 7, 2007.

“We are honored to be recognized by the Microsoft community for our success in deploying impactful business intelligence solutions making optimal use of Microsoft technologies. We are proud of our partnership with Microsoft, continue to see our customers embracing the Microsoft Business Intelligence suite of products and the business value it brings for a lower total cost of ownership,” said Thad Chapman, founding partner for Artis Consulting.

Artis’ methodology and delivery strategy work hand-in-hand with Microsoft’s overall BI offering – enabling better, more timely decision making across the enterprise, not just in the executive suite. “We believe business intelligence solutions are most impactful when they enable information workers throughout the organization to leverage corporate information and knowledge, regardless of role or title. Microsoft shares the same vision, with an affordable comprehensive suite of tools that can deliver enterprise-grade business intelligence,” said Chapman.

“Microsoft thrives because of our fantastic partner community and we are pleased to present this award to Artis Consulting. Artis’ solution-oriented approach aligns very well with our “people-ready” software, bringing business value to our collective customers,” said Chris Sakalosky, Area General Manager for Microsoft’s South Central Area. “Artis Consulting continually gains the status of “trusted advisor” with their customers because of their technology and business acumen.
