PORTSMOUTH, N.H. -- Newmarket Software Systems, Inc. today announced that four of its Windows operating systems-based software solutions Delphi® Breeze® Global SFA and CVBreeze will now carry the "Designed for BackOffice" logo, making them the first sales, marketing and catering solutions to meet the BackOffice family requirements.

The BackOffice program requirements ensure that all products carrying the "Designed for BackOffice" logo incorporate key criteria customers find most important, such as quality and consistency in the Windows BackOffice environment. The BackOffice family includes Windows NT Server, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Systems Management Server, Microsoft SNA Server, Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft Proxy Server and Microsoft Site Server.

Delphi, Breeze, Global SFA, and CVBreeze have each been independently tested and all meet the technical requirements for integration with the BackOffice family. Qualification includes compatibility testing with other BackOffice products and the ability to install and uninstall cleanly.

"BackOffice certification represents a formal acknowledgment that Newmarket's products for Windows comply with the theories and development practices that Microsoft Corp. employs in their own products," said Charlie Hoppensteadt Newmarket's director of business development. "This gives prospective customers and users the confidence that Newmarket's Delphi, Breeze, Global SFA and CVBreeze applications are Windows-based solutions that integrate with the Microsoft BackOffice family of products."

"We are very pleased to see one of the world's leading hospitality solutions vendors take the time and effort required to reach this level of commitment to the Microsoft BackOffice family of products. The "Designed for BackOffice" logo lets Microsoft's hospitality customers know that Newmarket's products deliver a valuable and tested BackOffice solution," said Stan Julien, hospitality industry marketing manager for Microsoft Corp.
