RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC -- (MARKET WIRE) -- November 28, 2006 -- Mi-Co today announced its
participation in Microsoft Across America, a nationwide road show designed
to give business people hands-on experience with the latest technology.
Microsoft Across America is a free event that enables visitors to explore a
state-of-the-art truck for live product demonstrations. On December 7, 2006
visitors can attend Microsoft Across America at the Mi-Forms Mobility Event
located at The Hilton of Research Triangle Park from 9 AM to 3 PM.
Representatives from Mi-Co will be on hand to offer one-on-one advice and
answer questions.
"Mi-Co continues to architect Mi-Forms client software to take full
advantage of Microsoft's operating system on the Tablet PCs and Windows
Mobile devices. We are excited about participating in this event with
Microsoft as they roll out their highly anticipated new operating system,
Vista," said Greg Clary, Mi-Co's CEO.
Microsoft Across America event attendees can experiment with Microsoft
products such as Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Office 2007, and
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0. At this stop in Research Triangle Park for the
Microsoft Truck, Mi-Co partners will be demonstrating their solutions with
integrated Mi-Forms technology. Mi-Co's partner solutions span a wide
range of applications on Tablet PC and Digital Pens including construction
and property appraiser applications. The partners participating in this
year's event are Dimension 5, Rover Technology Fusions, Texcel, and Lenovo.
A fleet of seven Microsoft Across America trucks have already delivered
over 500 events this year. This event serves as the launch of Mi-Co's
Version 6 of the Mi-Forms product suite. The launch of Windows Vista and
Mi-Forms Version 6 in tandem is no coincidence. As Mi-Forms focuses on
mobility, the launch of Windows Vista makes it easier to use computers and
networks while the user is on the go. Connecting mobile computers to a
variety of hardware and networks is faster, easier, and more secure and
Windows Vista incorporates many new features that are made specifically for
the mobile user.
"Our ability to effectively serve customers and offer a program such as
Microsoft Across America is due in large part to our strong network of
business partners," said Bill Forsyth, Southeast Area General Manager for
Microsoft's Small and Midmarket Solutions and Partners Group. "We are
pleased to partner with IT providers like Mi-Co and its partners because
these companies offer many of the tools and advice our customers
consistently ask for, including easy-to-use technology, local expertise and
integrated solutions."
