Airborne Consulting, a niche focused Microsoft consulting company, has been awarded Gold certification in the following areas: Customer Development Solutions specialising in Web development and Data Management Solutions specialising in business intelligence solutions.
Microsoft Gold Certified Partners represent the top level of competence and expertise within Microsoft technologies, and have the closest working relationship with Microsoft.
They are elite partners who earn the highest customer endorsement and have the knowledge, skills, and commitment to help implement technology solutions that match to a client's specific business needs.
The certification is thus awarded to partners who have passed the most stringent level of requirements from Microsoft and have demonstrated the most robust, efficient and scalable implementations of Microsoft technologies in their chosen areas of specialisation.
The customer development competency covers Web-enabled deployment solutions required in organisations that wish to operate and transact through the Internet using Visual Studio, ASP.NET, IIS, Windows Server 2003, and SQL Server. The data management solutions competency focuses on expertise in the areas of design, deployment, and customisation of business intelligence solutions.
Yusuf Dawood, Director of Business Development at Airborne, says: "We are excited that Airborne has achieved the Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Level. For us it is confirmation that we have the consulting skills to deliver relevant solutions in a consistent and predictable manner. Attaining the Gold Certified partner level in such a short space of time also bears testament to Airborne's philosophy of employing people of the highest calibre and quality."
