Use of Microsoft Technology in Offerings Sample Clauses

Use of Microsoft Technology in Offerings. To the greatest extent possible (taking into account client needs and preferences and Microsoft's product offerings), all Avanade Service Offerings will be based on and take full advantage of the Microsoft Enterprise Solutions Platform. The Company will often work with third party products as necessary to port, integrate and interface them with Microsoft platforms, products or technology. However, only on a rare exception basis will competing products or technologies be used to deliver client solutions. In the event that the Company personnel offering a Avanade Services Offering for a client in a Go-to-Market Focus Area determine that commercial or technical issues would appear to prevent a solution deployment on the Microsoft Enterprise Solutions Platform, then the following will apply. To the greatest extent acceptable to the client and appropriate in light of the project's timetable and requirements, the Company will provide Microsoft with an opportunity to involve, as appropriate, its Microsoft Consulting Services personnel and relevant Microsoft product groups (at no cost to the Company or its client) for consultation with personnel of the Company to evaluate the potential barriers and how they may be resolved. In the event Microsoft does consult on the matter in a timely fashion, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to consider and, to the extent it deems appropriate under the circumstances, implement Microsoft's written response. Microsoft will coordinate its consultation process with the Company's personnel so as not to interfere with or delay the client's project schedules.
