EPS Software Featured in a Microsoft Video Case Study

Houston, Texas – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – April 23, 2009. EPS Software Corp., a Spring, Texas based software development and consulting firm, and Microsoft Corp., today announced the release of a video case study conducted by Microsoft Corp. on EPS Software.

Markus Egger, Industry renowned expert, author, speaker, Microsoft MVP, President of EPS Software Corp., and Publisher of CODE Magazine, and Mike Yeager, Manager and Senior Software Developer of EPS Software, were featured in an in-depth video case study into EPS’ innovative software and development procedures.

“We were delighted to have Microsoft’s video crew in our office, and humbled by their interest in our company” Egger said “we are constantly learning new technologies and passing those benefits onto our customers. In the end, we are providing state-of-the-art software for our customers, and they love it.”

The video case study takes an in-depth look into EPS’ development process and how they are using Microsoft technologies to develop on a host of platforms; and for Yeager, Microsoft technologies are making a difference even when EPS Software developers are targeting a specific kind of device.

“We’re doing things we couldn't do before and building products we couldn’t build before, and the way people are adopting our products is phenomenal,” Yeager says “we are able to use the same principles to develop applications on a desktop, but can develop the same application on a mobile device, tablet PC, or even a Surface table—the possibilities are really endless.”
