/EINPresswire.com/ -- EDMONTON, ALBERTA -- (Marketwired) -- 01/12/16 -- OneSoft Solutions Inc. (the "Company" or "OneSoft") (TSX VENTURE: OSS), a North American developer of cloud business solutions is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, OneBridge Solutions Inc. ("OneBridge") has taken a major step forward in its business development, having been selected to participate in the Microsoft Ventures Accelerator program, which will take place between February 2, 2016 and June 2, 2016.

Microsoft Ventures Accelerator is a mentor-driven program aimed at assisting companies to accelerate their development and scale up their operations. Companies accepted to the program gain access to top business mentors, cutting edge technology and marketing experts, office space and other resources to help them advance their business strategies. The program provides exposure to investors who are seeking cloud technology investment opportunities and provides warm introductions to major corporations who are Microsoft customers, who may be suited to become early adopters of the new OneBridge cloud solutions.

This will be the third Seattle-based Accelerator program amongst others conducted outside of North America, each of which typically involved between ten and fifteen company participants. Since inception of the program, an aggregate total exceeding $1.2 billion of capital has been raised to fund and scale the companies who participated.

The 2016 Seattle Accelerator program is focused on machine learning and data science, which are integral components of OneBridge's strategies and solutions. Certain OneBridge personnel will be resident at Microsoft Venture's Seattle office facility (the "cloud capital of the world"), during the duration of the program. OneBridge expects to receive a US $25,000 grant to offset travel and subsistence expenses, free software, developer tools and support, and US $500,000 in Azure usage credits over the next three years.

"We are very pleased that OneBridge is one of the few companies that were selected, through a rigorous review process, to participate in the program" stated Dwayne Kushniruk, CEO. "We look forward to having access to Microsoft Azure, machine learning and data science experts, which we believe will be of great benefit from a technology perspective. We also anticipate that connection to the network of customers, investors, influencers and industry-leading mentors associated with the program will be most valuable from a business development perspective, and very helpful in scaling the OneBridge business."
