Our Microsoft Partner List of Accreditations and Competencies

Choosing a company to provide managed services or IT consultancy is a big decision. After all, you’ll be relying on them to keep your network up and running with no hitches, and ensure your hardware and software are running smoothly. They may even be responsible for your disaster recovery and cyber security issues. Not the sort of things you want to leave to chance.

So, how can you ensure you choose a highly-skilled, reputable company? One of the quickest ways to sort the wheat from the chaff is to check out a company’s Microsoft partner list of accreditations and competencies. These are commonly considered  the ‘Gold Standard’ in IT accreditations.

What is a Microsoft Partner Competency?

Microsoft Gold Partner Logo - one of the competencies on the Intersys Microsoft Partner ListIn short, a Microsoft Competency confirms an organisation has technical expertise in a particular area. Microsoft offers Competencies in a range of speciality areas such as Midmarket Solution Provider and Application Development, allowing organisations to highlight their areas of proficiency.

There are two levels of competencies. In the same way that athletic competitions award gold and silver medals to the very best athletes, the very best Microsoft Partners receive Silver and Gold level Competencies as a mark of exceptional work. Only a small percentage of companies achieve Gold.

What is involved?

To attain Gold or Silver Certified Partner status, a Microsoft Partner must demonstrate a high level of expertise in the specified area. This involves havingan in-depth knowledge of the subject area, passing rigorous, industry-recognised exams or certifications, and meeting stringent performance goals. In addition, customer testimonials must be submitted and approved by Microsoft.

Why are they important?

Study skills: for an IT business to achieve Microsoft Partner status, employees must undertake intense learning.

A company with a Microsoft Partner list of competencies is likely to be proficient and reliable. These accreditations are not easily earned and must be renewed annually. This requires intense levels of study, continually learning the intricacies of Microsoft products and keeping up with the latest changes and developments in the tech world.

For customers, these competencies are an assurance that you are working with engineers who are among the most highly-skilled in the business, and with a company that has a proven track record of providing customers with exceptional service.
