Mamut is nominated in the category Small Business Solution of the Year, and is representing Western Europe. Nearly 800 entries were considered for this award in twelve different categories. Mamut was selected because of its innovative use of Microsoft’s latest technologies which offer clear benefits to customers. Last year, Mamut Pro was awarded ‘Best Nordic e-commerce solution for small and medium-sized businesses’ at Fusion 2000.

“It was an honor for us to receive so many amazing business applications of our products,” said Ian Rogoff, vice president, Worldwide Partner Group at Microsoft, “but Mamut clearly stood out among the many high-quality entries we received.”

“The nomination confirms Mamut’s prominent position in the development of innovative CRM and e-commerce solutions for the SME market, and demonstrates that Mamut’s products simplify the working day for more than 60,000 users worldwide,” says Eilert Hanoa, CEO of Mamut.

Award Finalists will be honored at Microsoft’s Fusion 2001 partner event in Anaheim, CA July 13-16. The worldwide winner in each of the twelve award categories will be announced July 15th during an Opening Keynote Session by Ian Rogoff, Vice President, Worldwide Partner Group at Microsoft.
