Microsoft takes its partnerships seriously and holds its Partners to the highest level of competence and expertise with Microsoft technologies. Within the Microsoft Partner Network, the focus is on the investments vendors make in achieving competencies in specific technologies, keeping the bar raised to offer the best technology solutions. Advanced Competency Partners, like MethodFactory, essentially have the closest working relationship with Microsoft, which gets passed onto the customer in a myriad of ways.
MethodFactory has been a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner since 2004 and continues to stay on the leading edge of Microsoft technologies within the Microsoft Partner Network, earning a Gold Competency in portals and collaboration, which represents our focus on enterprise content management, document management, eCommerce and customer experience management. We also have earned a Silver Competency (soon to be Gold) in web development and a Silver Competency in ISV solutions based on our productized software offerings.
What does this mean for the customer? Advanced competencies differentiate us in the marketplace and give our customers and prospective customers a better idea of our core solutions, creating an opportunity for a better partner fit based on the alignment of customer needs.
MethodFactory was invited to participate in Microsoft's Technology Adoption Program (TAP) for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. The Microsoft Visual Studio TAP allows selected Microsoft Partners access to early versions of the next generation of Microsoft programs and servers, which can provide a strategic edge in taking advantage of the new capabilities before their competitors. Participating companies in the Technology Adoption Program also provide Microsoft with critical product development feedback which can help drive the direction of the products.
