Corporate Renaissance Group Reaches the First Milestone Toward Achieving Its Second Certified for Microsoft Dynamics Accreditation

[Ottawa, Ontario—January 7, 2010] Corporate Renaissance Group (CRG) announced today that its Cost Allocator, multi-level cost allocation software has passed the Software Solution Test for Microsoft Dynamics, which is a major requirement for Certified for Microsoft Dynamics® status.

Certified for Microsoft Dynamics is Microsoft Corp.’s highest standard for partner-developed software. This certification represents a significant step in elevating the standard for partner-developed software solutions for industry-specific business applications. Solutions with a successful software test have demonstrated development quality and compatibility with the Microsoft Dynamics product. VeriTest, a service of Lionbridge, performed independent and rigorous testing on the solution’s integration with Microsoft Dynamics.

“By requiring the software solution to meet our highest standards, Microsoft is assuring customers that these certified solutions work with their investments in Microsoft Dynamics,” said Doug Kennedy, vice president, Microsoft Dynamics Partners. “Microsoft congratulates Corporate Renaissance Group on the software test results and wishes it success in earning the Certified for Microsoft Dynamics designation.”

Cost Allocator is a flexible costing application that allows users to perform multi-level cost allocations. The user has the ability to select one of four methods to complete the cost allocations: percentage values, fixed amounts, cost drivers or measures and account balances.
