Brad Turner, Technical Architect for Ensynch, Named Most Valuable Professional (MVP) by Microsoft Corp.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Only MVP for Microsoft Identity Integration Server (MIIS) in the U.S; Only MVP in Arizona, Any Competency

Ensynch Inc., the Southwest's leading provider of IT infrastructure services, staffing and data center solutions, announced today that one of its Technology Architects, Brad Turner, was named one of only four Most Valuable Professionals (MVP) for Microsoft Identity Integration Server (MIIS) globally, and the only recipient residing in the United States. Microsoft MVPs are an elite group of the most highly skilled and experienced technology champions in the world. Turner's win makes him the only Arizona-based expert named to the prestigious MVP Award Program.

The MVP Award Program recognizes outstanding individuals throughout the world who are dedicated contributors to the Microsoft community through a wide range of activities.

Turner was recognized by Microsoft for his development of an industry-first method of using MIIS to manage records across applications in a highly efficient way. This method has become a key differentiator for Ensynch's Secure Identity and Access Management solution, allowing users to migrate from legacy platforms to a new consolidated infrastructure with Identity Management capabilities for measurably improved operational efficiency.

"Microsoft MVPs are extraordinary individuals sharing a common passion for technology and willingness to help others. Both their passion and experience makes a difference every day in technical communities around the world," said Anthony Russell, Group Manager for the Microsoft MVP Program. "Microsoft MVPs are credible technology experts who are among the very best and the most accessible community members. I am constantly amazed by their efforts and consider it a privilege to work with a worldwide team focused on recognizing and improving the MVP connection with Microsoft."

Turner currently serves as Ensynch's senior technical architect, bringing more than 13 years of expertise to the organization. His specialization includes enterprise directory architecture, identity management architecture, systems integration, and domain and systems management. Prior to his work at Ensynch, Turner held leadership positions for American Express, IBM GS and Paranet/Sprint Paranet.

"It is a great honor to be named an MVP by Microsoft. Developing new methods to manage technology is easy when you have a great support system not only from a great partner like Microsoft, but from the incredible team that makes up Ensynch," stated Turner. "This validates the work we've done for our clients, with the aid of Microsoft programs, that heightens the quality of their IT infrastructure."
