Artec becomes Microsoft Gold Certified Partner

Johannesburg, 02 Feb 2004

Artec Computer Systems today announced that it has become a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, strengthening the strong relationship that already exists between the two companies.

Gold Certified Partners are the top level of Microsoft solution partners and have access to a set of resources and the support they need to stand out in the marketplace. Partners at this level have the opportunity to build the closest working relationship with Microsoft through activities such as participating in joint development projects.

"This new status brings a raft of new benefits to us, as well as creating new business opportunities for us in the market," commented Andrew Tucker, CEO of Artec Computer Systems.

"We are very proud to have achieved this status with Microsoft and will continue to invest the necessary time and energy to ensure our skills and resources are maintained at the current very high levels as well as ensuring that our customers continue to receive the relevant services that will result in their complete satisfaction with us as their business partner."

Artec was the first certified Microsoft Server 2003 company in SA. Artec is also a Microsoft associate consultant company for Africa as well as a Microsoft Licensing Management Programme (MLMP) partner. The latter allows Artec to audit clients on behalf of Microsoft, and, as a Microsoft Certified Partner as well, means that it is a company that can deliver business solutions built upon the Microsoft platform. Through this last programme, Artec has priority access to a support team of Microsoft CSEs, non-disclosure evaluation of new products and technologies, as well as planning tools and events on the latest Microsoft product developments and future directions.
