Don Nelson, general manager of channel development at Microsoft Business Solutions, said: "We deeply value our relationship with ICM because it has been successful in delivering our solutions to meet customer needs."

ICM Business Solutions provides applications software solutions to mid-market organisations across a range of Microsoft Solutions software, including financials, distribution, manufacturing, customer relationship management, HR and payroll.

Andrew Wilkinson, sales director at ICM, said: "We were recently included in the Microsoft Business Solutions Circle of Excellence at the European Reseller Conference and it's great for the team to receive such high industry recognition for their hard work and professionalism."
