Reston, VA, Jul 02.2010 – Bourntec Solutions, Inc today announced it has attained Gold Certified Partner status in the Microsoft Partner Program with a competency in Advanced technology Solutions, recognizing Bourntec’s expertise and impact in the information technology marketplace.

As a Gold Certified Partner, Bourntec has demonstrated expertise with Microsoft technologies and proven ability to meet customers’ needs. Microsoft Gold Certified Partners receive a rich set of benefits, including access, training and support, giving them a competitive advantage in the channel.

The primary focus of the Bourntec’s Microsoft Business Practice is to design, source and implement project solutions such as Microsoft Server, SQL Server, Exchange, Enterprise Project Management (EPM), SharePoint, as well as application development within the .NET framework.

“We are extremely happy to have attained Gold Certified Partner status in the Microsoft Partner Program. This Gold Partnership status allows us to lucidly promote our Microsoft expertise and to enhance our offerings and relationship with our clients,” said Sri Surya, Director- Public Sector

Customers are looking for partner companies that can bridge the gap between their business demands and technology capabilities,” said Allison Watson, vice president of the Worldwide Partner Sales and Marketing Group at Microsoft Corp. “They need to trust in a company that can act as an expert adviser for their long-term strategic technology plans. Microsoft Gold Certified Partners, which have certified expertise and direct training and support from Microsoft, can build a positive customer experience with our technologies. Today, Microsoft recognizes Bourntec Solutions as a new Gold Certified Partner for demonstrating its expertise providing customer satisfaction using Microsoft products and technology.”

As part of the requirements for achieving Gold Certified Partner status, Bourntec had to declare a Microsoft Competency. Microsoft Competencies are intended 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.

This Competency program is formulated for partners with proven expertise in designing and/or implementing complex technology solutions such as Cloud Computing, MOSS, Active Directory®- and Microsoft Host Integration Server-based design and deployment solutions and Microsoft  Exchange Server migration or deployment solutions. Since customers are increasingly asking to do more with less, partners with the advanced technology Solutions Competency can identify their unique skill in helping customer’s access management solutions, improve operational efficiency and reduce security risks.
