(www.acstechnologies.com) is proud to announce that Chris Craft, one of the company’s senior software developers, was recently awarded the 2008 Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for his efforts in Device Application Development communities during the previous year.
The Microsoft MVP Award is presented annually to “individuals who promote the spirit of community, improving people’s lives and the computer software industry’s success every day. MVPs are exceptional technical community leaders who voluntarily share their high quality, real world expertise in offline and online communities. Through their extensive activities, MVPs help others solve problems and discover new capabilities, gaining maximum value from their technology devices,” states Microsoft.

Chris Craft said, “I was really honored to receive the MVP award. It’s great to know that a company like Microsoft still takes the time to recognize individual technology leaders. Meeting my fellow MVPs at the global summit was a unique experience and I learned so much from them. The more we share with each other the advances in technology, the more we can accomplish together and enjoy life.”
“The level of talent and dedication that Chris displays to his profession on a daily basis is exciting to watch,” states Steve Cumbia, the executive director of research and development at ACS Technologies. “It is great knowing that someone of his caliber is working to provide improved technology to our clients and we are fortunate to have him as one of our senior software developers.”
