13 March 2013: A press conference was held today in Sarajevo to announce a new donation from Microsoft to the International Commission on Missing Persons (ICMP). The commercial value of Microsoft’s software donation is 480,000 USD, and includes Windows, Office, Windows Server, Exchange Server, SQL Server, Visual Studio and Lync.
The software will enable ICMP to improve its operational systems and to continue its vital work in assisting governments to address the issue of missing persons, including the provision of DNA analysis to assist in the identification of persons missing from armed conflict, human rights abuses, disasters, or other causes.
ICMP Director General Kathryne Bomberger said on this occasion: “ICMP’s global work in assisting countries to address large scale missing persons problems requires a trusted information technologies partner with global influence, and we could hardly have a better partner in this regard than Microsoft Corporation. Microsoft’s software enables ICMP to communicate quickly and reliably with stakeholders around the world, which is critical to our work”.
“This donation is a marked example of how software and modern technology can help in resolving issues that are relevant to society, in this case the issue of missing persons. I hope our software will enable ICMP to carry out their work in an even more efficient and productive manner. We also hope that our product Lync Server will be of particular use to ICMP as it offers an integrated solution for audio-video conference calls, multiuser meetings, and instant messaging, which will definitely facilitate everyday communication between ICMP’s distant offices, and make significant savings”, said Lejla Zukić-Krivdić, Microsoft BiH Director, adding that in addition to Lync the donation includes Windows, Office, Exchange Server, Visual Studio and SQL Server.
As part of its global project “Unlimited Potential,” Microsoft has supported non-profit organizations in Bosnia and Herzegovina for years. The donation to ICMP helps to reveal the truth about persons who went missing during armed conflicts, as a result of violations of human rights and during natural disasters, a truly global issue. ICMP is the only international organization that addresses the issue of missing persons in a systematic manner and that is why it is important for Microsoft as a socially responsible company to give its share in resolving this extremely significant issue.
ICMP has engaged in resolving the issue of persons missing in wars, human rights violations and natural disasters in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Croatia, Kosovo, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Colombia, Chile, the Philippines, Thailand, the Maldives, Norway, South Africa, the United States and Cyprus. ICMP has helped in the scientific identification of 17,000 missing persons in the Western Balkans, 14,100 in Bosnia and Herzegovina alone. ICMP has offices in the Western Balkans, Iraq and Libya.

Danas je u Sarajevu održana konferencija za novinare povodom uručenja nove donacije Microsoft softvera, komercijalne vrijednosti 480.000,00 američkih dolara, Međunarodnoj komisiji za nestale osobe (ICMP), koja uključuje slijedeće Microsoft proizvode: Windows, Office, Windows Server, Exchange Server, SQL Server, Visual Studio i Lync.
Donirani softver će ICMP-u omogućiti da unaprijedi svoje operativne sisteme i nastavi svoj vitalni rad na pružanju pomoći vladama da riješe sudbinu nestalih osoba, uključujući i DNK analizu kojom ICMP pomaže u identifikaciji posmrtnih ostataka desetina hiljada osoba stradalih u ratovima, uslijed kršenja ljudskih prava, u prirodnim katastrofama, i zbog drugih razloga.
Generalna direktorica Međunarodne komisije za nestale osobe (ICMP), Kathryne Bomberger je ovom prlikom izjavila: „ICMP pruža pomoć vladama širom svijeta da se izbore sa problemom velikog broja nestalih osoba i za takav rad nam je potreban pouzdan partner iz polja informacionih tehnologija sa globalnim utjecajem. U tom smislu teško je imati boljeg partnera nego što je korporacija ‘Microsoft’. Microsoftov softver omogućava ICMP-u da brzo i pouzdano komunicira sa saradnicima širom svijeta, a to je ključno za naš posao“.
„Ova donacija je očit primjer kako softver i moderna tehnologija mogu pomoći u rješavanju pitanja bitnih za društvo, u ovom slučaju pitanju nestalih osoba i zaista se nadam da će naš softver omogućiti ICMP-u da još efikasnije i produktivnije obavlja svoj posao. Nadamo se da će naš proizvod Lync server posebno biti koristan ICMP-u jer nudi objedinjeno rješenje za audio i video konferencijske pozive, sastanke više korisnika, te trenutno dopisivanje i svakako će omogućiti kvalitetno svakodnevno komuniciranje i sa udaljenim uredima ICMP-a, te na taj način ostvariti značajne uštede,“ izjavila je Lejla Zukić- Krivdić, direktorica Microsoft BiH, te dodala da je donacija softvera ovaj put osim Lync-a obuhvatila i Windows, Office, Exchange server, Visual Studio i SQL server.
Microsoft, putem svoje globalne inicijative „Neograničeni potencijal“ već godinama pomaže neprofitne organizacije u BiH, a donacije ICMP-u pomažu u otkrivanju istine o sudbini osoba nestalih usljed ratnih sukoba, zloupotrebe ljudskih prava ili prirodnih katastrofa, a to je svakako globalno pitanje. ICMP je jedina organizacija na svijetu koja se sistemski bavi ovim kompleksnim problemom i upravo zbog ovih razloga, vrlo je važno da Microsoft, kao društveno odgovorna kompanija, barem u nekoj mjeri, pomogne u rješavanju ovog izuzetno važnog pitanja.
ICMP je bio ili je još uvijek uključen u rješavanje sudbina osoba nestalih u ratovima, usljed kršenja ljudskih prava i u prirodnim katastrofama u Bosni i Hercegovini, Srbiji, Hrvatskoj, Kosovu, Bivšoj Jugoslavenskoj Republici Makedoniji, Iraku, Kuvajtu, Libiji, Kolumbiji, Čileu, Filipinima, Tajlandu, Maldivima, Norveškoj, Južnoj Africi, Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama i Kipru. ICMP je pomogao u naučnoj identifikaciji 17.000 nestalih osoba na Zapadnom Balkanu, od toga 14.100 u Bosni i Hercegovini. ICMP ima kancelarije na Zapadnom Balkanu, u Iraku i Libiji.
