As one of the requirements for attaining Gold Certified Status, Netkeepers had to declare a Microsoft Competency. Microsoft Competencies are designed to help differentiate a partner’s capabilities with specific Microsoft technologies to customers looking for a particular type of solution. Each competency has a unique set of requirements and benefits, formulated to accurately represent the specific skills and services that partners bring to the technology industry.

Competency: Advanced Infrastructure Solutions

The Advanced Infrastructure Solutions competency is awarded in recognition of quality consulting in the area of delivering complex, integrated and connected infrastructure solutions based on Microsoft Server technologies. Netkeepers has exhibited the skills needed for this many times over and has many personnel to continue to provide services in this area and customers willing to vouch for us.

Active Directory and Identity Management Specialization

The primary area that Netkeepers is recognized for the Advanced Infrastructure competency is in the areas of Active Directory and Identity Management, resulting in this specialization being awarded to the company.

This specialization identifies Netkeepers as an organization that is fully qualified to deploy Microsoft Identity Management solutions, including: automated account (de-) provisioning, fully integrated directory and security services, single sign-on for multiple applications, web sites and services and cross-platform and application interoperability.

Competency: Networking Infrastructure Solutions

Microsoft Gold Certified Partners enrolled in the Networking Infrastructure Solutions Competency have proven their competency in implementing technology solutions based on either the Microsoft Windows Server™ 2003 or Windows® 2000 Server operating system, with a particular focus on Microsoft Small Business Server 2000 and Windows Small Business Server 2003. These implementations may include crafting solutions that connect Windows-based servers, PC locations and the Internet, installing a server farm, or building a small-business Windows Server stand-alone solution that includes file and print capabilities.

“We place tremendous value on our partners, who help us deliver solutions and applications to customers,” said Allison Watson. “Solutions Competencies provide an integrated partnering framework that recognizes an enterprise’s expertise and rewards it for the effect it has in the technology marketplace. It also allows companies to demonstrate for customers their knowledge of building solutions based on Microsoft technologies, such as setting up networks using Windows Server 2003 and Windows Small Business Server 2003.”

Competency: Information Worker Solutions

Designed to provide additional benefit and support to partners specializing in collaboration, portals and other productivity solutions, the Information Worker Solutions Competency is utilized by Gold Certified Partners that provide their customers with solutions built on familiar programs that enable them to better manage, prioritize and collaborate on increasing volumes of information. Partners that have obtained the Information Worker Competency can help their customers realize increased service revenues and new market opportunities.

And for partners, the opportunity to highlight their expertise to customers is tremendous in the growing IW solution market.”

The Microsoft Partner Program was launched in December 2003 and represents Microsoft’s ongoing commitment to the success of partners worldwide. The program offers a single, integrated partnering framework that recognizes partner expertise, rewards the total impact that partners have in the technology marketplace, and delivers more value to help partners’ businesses be successful.
