For Immediate Release

Pittsburgh, PA:  Allin Corporation (OTCBB: ALLN), a Microsoft Gold Certified technology consulting company, announced that it recently earned certifications to deliver Microsoft’s newest planning services offerings for Microsoft Exchange and Office.  At this time, Allin is one of the first Microsoft Partners certified to deliver Microsoft’s Exchange 2007 Planning Services (EDPS) offering and one of only six companies worldwide certified to deliver Office Business Value Planning Services (OBVPS).  Allin also maintains certifications to deliver Microsoft’s Desktop Deployment Planning Services (DDPS) and SharePoint Deployment Planning Services (SDPS) offerings.

Packaged Services, such as Exchange Deployment Planning Services (EDPS), are a Software Assurance (SA) benefit offering customers pre-defined service engagements with qualified Microsoft Partners through entitlements based upon specified Office Application Pool and Server Pool licenses. These benefits remove barriers to adoption or upgrading of Microsoft solutions by giving customers the services of an experienced partner who can guide the customer through the planning process. 

Exchange Deployment Planning Services enables Allin to deliver pre-defined Exchange Server 2007 deployment planning services in 3, 5, 10 or 15 day workshops that will help optimize customers’ deployment process and lower the cost and complexity of their investment.

OBVPS is designed to help business decision makers develop a plan to leverage the strategic value of the Office platform by improving an impactful business process, working with the Microsoft partner to document, analyze, optimize, justify, sequence, and propose a plan to improve their business using Office System. This initiative helps customers realize a greater return on existing Office System technology investment, solving real problems that our customers and their employees face every day with a familiar technology platform.  Through participation in the OBVPS, Allin can help customers build a convincing business case to drive change and improve their business processes. 

“We are proud to be recognized by Microsoft as one of the first Partners certified to deliver both of these packaged offerings,” stated Mark Cabot, managing director of Allin Consulting in Northern California.  “We recognize the complexity of deploying the suite of Microsoft solutions and where our customers can benefit from our deep experience.  Many of our customers need help in understanding how to best leverage these new capabilities to deliver real business value.”
