Kognitiv Spark today announced it has been named a finalist in the 2019
Microsoft Mixed Reality Partner of the Year Award. The company was
honored among a global field of top Microsoft partners for demonstrating
excellence in innovation and implementation of customer solutions based
on Microsoft technology.
“We’re so proud to be recognized as a finalist for this award because it
validates our signature approach of never stopping at good enough,” says
Yan Simard, CEO of Kognitiv Spark. “It reinforces our position as a
world-class mixed reality worker support platform and is a testament to
our dedication to empowering workers with the autonomy and confidence to
perform their best. We could not have come this far without the
collaboration and support from Microsoft, our clients, and the rest of
our network and partners.”
The company delivers industrial worker support software designed for the
Microsoft HoloLens, leveraging augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality
(MR). The company recently announced a partnership with the Royal
Canadian Navy to test drive a Mixed Reality Remote Assistant Support
(MIRRAS) system as part of a project that aims to improve maintenance
and repairs aboard active naval vessels.
Awards were presented in several categories, with winners chosen from a
set of more than 2,900 entrants from 115 countries worldwide. Kognitiv
Spark was recognized for providing outstanding solutions and services in
MR.
The Mixed Reality Partner of the Year Award recognizes a partner that
has designed, developed, and deployed a solution that helps customers
accelerate their digital transformation using MR technology and Azure
services.
