Microsoft interview Monochrome
by Matt Glavin 7:16 pm Thursday, 20 November 2008.

Hi, I’m Matt Glavin, Business Manager for Monochrome – I joined Monochrome in September of this year to be part of the Rich Internet Application space.  Part of my role for one of the UK’s leading RIA Agencies is to explore new avenues working with Alliance partners to maximise new business opportunities.  Monochrome joined the Microsoft Partnership over 12 months ago with the aim of working with some of the newest and most innovative technologies available today…

We’ve all heard about Silverlight & WPF technology and the pros and cons related, this new dynamic drive from Microsoft to utilise the UX delivery for their major product stack is proving to be an exciting ride for Monochrome.  Since joining the MS eco-system we’ve worked on a number of enterprise level opportunities to deliver applications in WPF & Silverlight – How?  Well we’ve identified the benefits of working with other MS partners who’s services compliment our own, it’s called the Design, Develop, Deliver methodology.  The basic principal behind this approach is to expand our ‘new business’ horizon by offering ‘more value’ to prospective customers.  Of course, one of the great benefits of building partner relations is you can share opportunities increasing your pipeline by 30-40% overnight….fantastic!

Anyway, Microsoft visited Monochrome last week to spend the day filming our business in full operation to demonstrate to other partners out there how exciting the fast developing market that is Rich Internet.  Myself & Niklas Richardson (Monochrome’s Technical Director) were asked to do an interview piece to discuss specifically UX (User Experience) and the benefits of using the Design, Develop, Deliver approach….all very interesting.  The video is yet to be released but there’s photo’s on our blog.

Monochrome are always open to discussing partner opportunities with other organisations, if you want to chat drop me an email or give me a call – my details can be found here.

I’m a PC!

  2. Great exposure for Monochrome’s superb partnering model - really great to see Microsoft supporting the design-develop-deliver methodology with one of the best design agencies in the UK. Look forward to seeing this posted on the MS site very soon! Julie
