To earn a Microsoft competency, partners must successfully complete exams (resulting in Microsoft Certified Professionals) to prove their level of technology expertise and, for gold competencies, designate these certified professionals uniquely to one Microsoft competency, ensuring a certain level of staffing capacity. Partners must also submit customer references that demonstrate successful projects and pass technology and/or sales assessments. For gold competencies, partners must also implement a yearly customer satisfaction study and, for many competencies, meet a revenue commitment.
“These Microsoft competencies highlight our commitment to the expertise necessary in today’s technology market and demonstrate our deep knowledge of Microsoft products,” said Thomas H. Douglas, JMARK President. “Our plan is to accelerate our customers’ success by increasing the impact technology can have in their day-to-day operational effectiveness.”
“By achieving a portfolio of competencies, partners demonstrate deep expertise and consistent capability on the latest Microsoft technology,” said Jon Roskill, corporate vice president, Worldwide Partner Group at Microsoft Corp. “These partners show true commitment to meeting customer technology needs today and into the future.”
Todd Nielsen, JMARKS COO says, “Education and technical proficiency is one of the many things that separate JMARK from the average technology solution provider. We value and are deeply committed to having the most knowledgeable and skilled staff to support our client’s needs.”
All Microsoft technology competencies differentiate a partner’s specific technology capabilities, helping customers find qualified solution providers with expertise in discrete areas quickly and easily.
