Mississauga, On - June 14, 2011 - Omega Optimization was named one of just 3 national winners in Microsoft Canada's Blue Sky competition for its optimal workforce SaaS solution. The prestigious annual award is designed to recognize 'the most disruptively innovative ISV solutions' and was held at Microsoft headquarters.

"Our technology is all about people: people that make it and people that use it. This award is a tribute to the innovative and hard work Omega’s team has put together. It is also an acknowledgment to the customers that have gone beyond the manual scheduling system and took the path of using Omega's workforce optimization SaaS. Our customers have grown their business value by optimizing their most valuable asset: their people." said Alexandre Le Bouthillier, Ph.D., partner at Omega Optimization during the presentation ceremony at the Microsoft ISV Summit.

"Our optimized workforce solution is unique.
