Branded business and technology solutions provider Lorge has gained Microsoft Gold Partner certification.
Gold Partner is the highest Microsoft certification and is conferred on partners that achieve high levels of competency in the provision of technical solutions and the licensed delivery of Microsoft products.
The certification is an important development for the Lorge business unit that implements, develops and supports the Microsoft Dynamics Navision midsize ERP software solution.
Nardus Pieters, technical consultant of Lorge`s Microsoft Dynamics Navision unit, said Gold certification, which is reassessed every 18 months, is a highly positive differentiator in obtaining new business and brings tangible benefits, including allocations of sales leads.
"Many organisations seeking ERP and financial and accounting software solutions now insist that their solution providers must have MS Gold certification. The certification also benefits clients indirectly because as a Gold Partner we have access to preferential Microsoft support, specialist technical services and assistance with problem-solving."
Pieters added that MS Gold qualified staff are able to proficiently deal with increasingly complex technologies and integrated systems over and above the financial and accounting knowledge required for ERP business solutions implementation. The fact that Microsoft dynamically monitors Gold Partners on an ongoing basis underlines the credibility of the certification for users of Dynamics Navision ERP solutions.
"The status of Gold Partner certification is dynamically monitored by Microsoft, and partners therefore work hard to maintain it."
