ABERDEEN FIRM ACHIEVES MICROSOFT CERTIFICATION

Aberdeen based software solution company, Codify, today Monday 15 May 2006, announce that they have received certification from Microsoft confirming their competence in the area of custom development solutions. Following an extensive approval process Codify is now a certified Microsoft partner with a competency in Custom Development Solutions.

Mark Griffiths, managing director of Codify says, "We provide our clients with custom software solutions; being certified as a Microsoft partner with a competency in Custom Development Solutions is recognition of the level of service and expertise that we provide to our customers. The Custom Development Solutions competency differentiates our software development capabilities and demonstrates, to existing and potential clients, that we provide value added solutions."

In order to gain the competency in Customer Development Solutions Codify needed to provide Microsoft with detailed information on their products, the technology that had been used to create them and which industry the products were targeting.

Mark adds, "In addition it was also necessary to supply Microsoft with a customer reference; this aspect of the competence assessment process shows that the software has been developed with 'real' customers and not hypothetical simulations. Our reference was provided by asset management support company, Latent Ltd."

Peter Adam operations manager of Latent Ltd comments, "We have worked with Codify to develop two pieces of asset management software, Profi-C and Look-C. Profi-C is an asset modelling and benchmarking software package designed primarily for use in the oil and gas industry and Look-C is a historical maintenance performance review package. As part of the certification process myself and my colleague, Dr Atholl Campbell, were asked questions based on our satisfaction with the work and efficacy. We were pleased to commend the work performed by Codify as it has added great value to the services which we deliver to our Oil and Gas Clients".
