“Microsoft’s strategic relationship with Hitachi Consulting is a critical component to driving our growth with companies in the Northwest,” said Jane Dickson, Microsoft General Manager for the Pacific Northwest Region. “Hitachi Consulting was recognized because of its industry focus, world-class expertise and ability to deploy and integrate Microsoft Dynamics AX, formerly Microsoft Axapta, with other Microsoft solutions like Microsoft SharePoint, business intelligence, and Microsoft Office.”

“Continuing the tradition of being named, back-to-back, Microsoft Business Solutions US Partner of the Year and having won the GM award several times,” said Mike Gillis, managing vice president of the Hitachi Consulting Microsoft Dynamics group, “our Hitachi Consulting national team has improved capabilities with a much more compelling offering. We have combined our former Iteration2 Microsoft Dynamics and field service automation expertise with Hitachi Consulting’s expanded industry focus and business consulting services to deliver even greater customer value. We are very pleased that our new integrated approach has been recognized by our customers and by Microsoft.”
