Clarity Consulting Joins Microsoft Silverlight Partner Initiative; Advances Web 2.0 Offerings for Developers
Supports company focus on simplifying and accelerating development of media-rich, social networking applications
Clarity Consulting Inc. today announced its membership in the Silverlight Partner Initiative, a technology and marketing program supporting Microsoft's Silverlight software platform. Clarity joined the Initiative to further its efforts in developing tools and solutions that make it easier and faster for developers and clients to create media-rich, Web 2.0 applications.
Microsoft Silverlight is a platform specially designed to deliver rich interactive applications for the Web that incorporate video and animation into an engaging user experience. Silverlight also reduces development and deployment costs and provides enhanced Web audio and video streaming and playback using industry-leading Windows Media technologies.
A long-time advocate of Microsoft technology, Clarity believes Silverlight is a key to helping bridge the gap between designers and developers by making it easier to generate design assets and code.
"By creating a universal language for media applications, Silverlight helps developers and designers speak the same language," said Kevin Marshall, Director of Product Management, Clarity Consulting. "In turn, that helps save time and money while creating more opportunity for innovation. Clarity is excited to be a member of the Silverlight Partner Initiative and an active participant in shaping the next generation of rich interactive applications."
Clarity has created several software solutions based on Silverlight and the Microsoft.NET Framework including a streaming media control for Silverlight Streaming accounts and the winning entry for Chicago's PhizzPop competition. They have also organized SilverlightDevCamp, a Silverlight developer community event, in San Francisco and Chicago. The company will continue to explore new applications and business oppotunities for the Web while delivering advanced tools, content and solutions for its customers.
