Access Accounting Ltd., creator of the leading financial software Access Accounts, recently announced that it has achieved Microsoft Gold Partner Accreditation. The Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Program identifies Microsoft Certified Partners who have demonstrated their proven commitment and expertise in specialised areas, and who focus on the medium to large enterprise customer market.
"We are delighted with our new status as a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner for Software Solutions," says Access Accounting Ltd Managing Director, Alistair O`Reilly. "Being a member of the programme allows us to clearly promote ourselves to customers as having proven expertise in providing exceptional software solutions. The increased benefits provided through our gold membership will allow us to continue to enhance the offerings that we provide for customers and dealers."
ASYST International SA, sole distributor of Access Accounts in Southern Africa, believes the programme advantages will benefit customers across the region. "We have worked very closely with Microsoft over the past few years, and have participated with them in many joint seminars and functions," commented Paul Marketos, MD of ASYST International SA. "Access receiving this prestigious award is the ultimate accolade for our software and will lead to an even closer relationship with them.
"There are only a handful of software companies across the world who have received Microsoft Gold partnership status, and Access Accounts is one of them," continued Marketos. "As part of this new relationship we will be given exclusive briefings on upcoming new technology, participate in joint initiatives and benefit from the use of their facilities; benefits that we can pass onto our customers and dealers in turn.
"We continue to be very successful within the local marketplace, and this new status will not only underpin our previous achievements but help to accelerate our future activities," concluded Marketos.
