Published on Thursday, April 01, 2010
April 1, 2010 - Dayforce, the workforce management company widely recognized as an innovation and usability leader, today announced that it has been selected to join the Microsoft BizSpark One Program. Microsoft BizSpark One is a unique, invitation-only program designed to accelerate the growth of selected high potential companies through a one-to-one relationship with Microsoft and a global community of advisors, investors, and peers.
“Entering a strategic relationship with Microsoft was one of Dayforce’s most important decisions, said David Ossip, CEO of Dayforce. “With BizSpark One, Dayforce will continue to benefit from Microsoft’s support for Dayforce’s already remarkable growth.” To date, Dayforce’s collaboration with Microsoft has included Microsoft-funded performance testing, a Microsoft case study featuring Dayforce, and Microsoft-sponsored integration between Dayforce and Microsoft solutions.
Microsoft BizSpark One pairs high-potential technology companies with a dedicated relationship manager at Microsoft. Microsoft then works to identify unique opportunities and build a tailored plan to promote the company’s visibility, expand its network of investors, expose it to business opportunities, and develop cutting edge applications. Dayforce has benefitted from the program in a number of ways, including Microsoft-sponsored performance testing and integration with Microsoft Dynamics AX.
In making the selection, Microsoft emphasized Dayforce’s innovative use of technology to deliver quantifiable business value. “Dayforce is a great example of Microsoft’s technology vision for enterprise software: easier to use, highly secure, and surprisingly affordable,” said Matthew Clark, senior director of strategic and emerging business development, Microsoft Corp. “Dayforce has used our platform in innovative ways to deliver real customer value.”
For Dayforce and Microsoft, BizSpark One will be the latest in a series of collaborative efforts between the two companies. “Working with Microsoft has been a big part of our success,” said David Ossip. “We look forward to extending that relationship through the BizSpark One Program.”
