We received the news that this month (May 2008) the website that we produced in late 2007 for DERIVE TECHNOLOGIES has received another important industry accolade. ChannelWeb, the online portal for CRN and VARBusiness magazines, has named Derivetech.com one of “20 Great-Looking Solution Provider Sites”. See the main story here, and the specific entry for Derivetech.com (#6 out of 20!) here.

We at Mitra Creative are very proud of this achievement. Joe Caponi, Managing Editor, Operations of ChannelWeb says of the interactive platforms chosen for the list of 20 Great Looking Solution Provider Sites that, “demonstrating a refined sense of design can help to brand a solution provider and generate new business opportunities.” We are thrilled that this aestheticism, as well as our work to very specifically co-brand Derive Technologies with Partners such as HP®, Microsoft®, Citrix®, Cisco®, Panasonic®, VMWare® and others, has been instrumental in business development and the creation of a power-brand for Derive.

We just learned that our company, Mitra Creative, received a Gold Award in this year’s MarCom Creative Awards for:

• “DERIVE TECHNOLOGIES ONLINE: A MAKEOVER”

• http://www.derivetech.com

• Category: Web Site Overall

• Award: Gold

This is the first competition that we’ve been a part of and our first award. We are very excited about this achievement and the potential to deliver more winning solutions for current and future clients!
