Markham, Ontario, CANADA - Rolta Canada Limited announced today that it has been selected as the 2009 Microsoft Partner Network IMPACT Award winner for the "Data Management Solution of the Year".  The seventh annual IMPACT awards recognize excellence across the large and diverse community of Microsoft's Canadian technology partners.

"Our annual IMPACT Awards celebrate the most innovative technology partners who have shown superior service to customers and are real leaders in their respective fields," said Corinne Sharp, National Director, Canadian Partner channel, Microsoft Canada Co. "As true IT heroes, technology partners like Rolta Canada Limited continue to raise the bar with customers by helping them maximize business performance."

Rolta Canada Limited was chosen as the winner in Data Management Solution of the year for ROLTA OnPointT.  OnPoint is the cornerstone of ROLTA Geospatial FusionTM solutions which help customers achieve new levels of operational efficiency and improved decision support in areas such as capital project management, economic development, land management, transportation management and utility operational performance.  These solutions extend to all levels of staff and provide self-served, accurate and timely spatial information with direct integration to other business systems.  The scalability and configurability of ROLTA Geospatial FusionTM are key discriminators that have reduced the complexity of implementing IT solutions and provided a new basis for insightful decision making.

By way of illustration, ROLTA's Transportation Management solutions facilitate decision-making through the fusion of asset management information and key performance indicators, all presented in a spatial context, to provide insightful operational decision support for management.  These solutions can be used throughout Transportation Agencies to support asset management, safety systems, planning, maintenance, environmental, land management and capital project management.

The same is true in Economic Development and other Agencies who leverage ROLTA's solutions to fuse data from numerous legacy systems and provide a spatial view of important location, skills, cultural and economic information for prospects around the world.  The power of these information management solutions are most apparent when one understands the uniqueness that each Agency desires is actually achieved through a common robust and highly configurable ROLTA solution.    

"We at ROLTA are extremely excited to have been recognized for "Data Management Solution of the Year" for the 2009 Microsoft Impact Awards. This award has proven that ROLTA OnPointTM continues to be the gold standard for customers that are looking for a geospatial solution that meets the demanding needs of today's businesses and governments.
