ArmInfo. Microsoft presented the latest MS developments – the software
"Windows Server 2008", "Visual Studio 2008", "SQL Server 2008" in
Armenia, Thursday. The presentation was held within the frames of
the IT Competitiveness and Innovation Conference in Armenia.
As Microsoft Armenian Country Manager Grigor Barseghyan told ArmInfo
correspondent, these products are presented to potential users of
system equipment. According to him, the advantage of the latest MS
developments is that the new and old versions of the products are
fully compatible. "So, today we issue licence not for old products,
but only for the latest versions, which, in its turn, gives clients
the right to use the previous ones as well", he stressed.
At the same time, Barseghyan noted that Microsoft has a number of
obligations to its clients. The company carries out its obligations by
supporting its clients through the phone and internet, making security
updates and drivers updates free of charge. "Microsoft is not engaged
in direct sales of its program products, but it specializes in the work
with users, the matter concerns only the users of licensed products",
he noted.
Barseghyan added that in Armenia MS cooperates with 30 partner
companies having licences, 5 or 6 of them are gold certified
partners. "MS ensures 95% of its business through the partners", he
specified. To note, in particular, the program products "Windows Server
2008", "Visual Studio 2008", "SQL Server 2008" give designers the full
set of tools to design and develop architecture and databases. To
recall, the Armenian office of Microsoft has been operating since
May 2006.
