Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa - 5 September 2012 - The London Olympics may have come to an end, but in keeping with the Olympic spirit, bSOLVe decided to undertake the challenge of achieving the Microsoft Gold Portals and Collaboration Competency. bSOLVe already holds a collection of five Gold and Silver competencies, but felt the Gold Portals and Collaboration Competency better aligned to its core strengths and offerings as a business.
"The Microsoft Partner Network is designed to empower solution providers to succeed in today's business environment. By achieving the prestigious Gold competency, participating companies are provided with a rich set of benefits, including increased customer visibility through branding and accessibility, training and support," said Jon Roskill, Corporate Vice-President, Worldwide Partner Group at Microsoft. "We are proud to put forth a programme that provides the right resources to help a company develop the expertise customers demand in today's competitive market and also provides the community and infrastructure that can connect them to one another, lowering costs for all parties."
To earn a Microsoft Gold Competency, organisations must complete a rigorous set of tests to prove their level of technology expertise, have the right number of Microsoft Certified Professionals, submit customer references and demonstrate their commitment to customer satisfaction by participating in an annual survey.
"A Gold Portals and Collaboration Competency differentiates us from the competition and establishes us as market leaders, further demonstrating our commitment to serving the needs of customers relying on Microsoft SharePoint-based solutions," said Simon Hepburn, Director. "We look forward to helping our customers realise value and be more efficient by continuing to focus our areas of technology expertise in response to today's business needs."
In the grips of gold fever, bSOLVe has also committed to a gold sponsorship of SharePoint Saturday, in Cape Town, on 8 September 2012. The event is Cape Town's Premier SharePoint Technology and Enterprise Content Management Community Event featuring local and internationally acclaimed speakers.
SharePoint Saturday is free and is open to the public for registration, so please register if you are interested in anything and everything SharePoint. bSOLVe will have both technical and business SharePoint people at the event, so please keep an eye out for us if you're looking for some industry leading advice or insights.
