Absol was awarded Microsoft's .NET Connected Logo certification for its online Internet audience measurement, tracking and analysis application, AbsolStats, which successfully passed Microsoft testing and verification in July 2004. The Microsoft .NET Connected Logo program recognizes solutions that fully support XML Web services capabilities and take advantage of the Microsoft .NET Framework's multi-language support, added security, and enhanced flexibility.

Microsoft .NET is a set of software technologies for connecting information, people, systems, and devices through use of Web services, XML-based applications that rely on a universal language to exchange data.

By leveraging Web services, companies can link their business processes across enterprises to streamline transactions with customers, employees, partners and suppliers.

Absol is the sixth company in South Africa to attain Microsoft's .NET Connected Logo certificate.

What this means to AbsolStats customers

The .NET Connected Logo program identifies AbsolStats as being optimized for the next generation of data sharing and delivery technologies and allows users or third-party developers to fashion their own representation of their statistical data by means of the offered web service.

With the .NET Connected Logo under its belt, AbsolStats offers customers an independently tested product and the knowledge that they can trust and rely on the data integrity, security and quality of information that AbsolStats provides. 

With their strong Microsoft Certified Partner status and historical expertise with Microsoft products and technologies, Absol is committed to bringing the benefits of new technology to their customers and providing solutions that enhance business, rather than taking advantage of current industry trends.
