RESAAS Services Inc., an enterprise social networking platform for the real estate industry, is pleased to announce it is a winner at the 2012 Microsoft IMPACT Awards, an annual awards ceremony acknowledging innovation and excellence in Microsoft Partners hosted in Toronto, Canada.

“What great recognition from Microsoft this is,” says Tom Rossiter, Chief Technology Officer at RESAAS. “To win the award in one of the most hotly contested categories is especially gratifying, and fitting recognition to the quality of work our engineering team has put into our propriety RESAAS platform.”

RESAAS was announced as the winner of the Windows Azure Platform Partner of the Year category, which specifically recognizes exceptional software in the cloud, after being nominated as finalists in October.

“It is terrific to see a company such as RESAAS receiving this kind of recognition for their adoption and use of the Windows Azure platform,” says Max Long, President of Microsoft Canada. “Tonight was a great celebration of our Canadian Technology Partners who really showcased their solutions leveraging the variety of products and services offered by Microsoft.”

“RESAAS has experienced tremendous growth since selecting Azure as our hosting provider of choice exactly 12 months ago,” Rossiter continues. “Microsoft’s cloud solution has let us scale easily as we’ve grown, and allowed us to focus on creating valuable features for our users rather than the typical growing pains normally associated with rapid growth.”

RESAAS was honored at the IMPACT Awards Gala Dinner hosted at the new Four Seasons Hotel in downtown Toronto, Ontario on November 13th, 2012.
