Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) June 6, 2008 -- Sitemasher's (http://www.sitemasher.com/) skies became brilliant blue today when Microsoft Canada announced the Vancouver-based start-up company as the winner of the inaugural Blue Sky Award recognizing leading innovation developed on the Microsoft-based platform. Sitemasher was elected from more than 100 submissions by independent software vendors (ISV) across the country.

"Our winner and finalists were recognized because of their true inspiration in driving innovation forward," said Mark Relph, vice president of the Developer & Platform Evangelism, Microsoft Canada. "We are thrilled with the response to this award and hope that it helps stimulate many more years of technology innovation in Canada."

Sitemasher Corporation was recognized for its unique SaaS-based delivery model, broad market appeal and its integrated web offering. ISVs were judged on the unique use of technology, the real-life challenge they are solving and the market potential.

"Taking our solution to market with Microsoft is very strategic for us," said Nicole Denil, Sitemasher's vice president of sales and marketing.

Sitemasher Corporation will receive a customized engagement plan including software and business development resources, public awareness, and exposure to additional Microsoft-based resources both in Canada and Redmond.
