As one of the requirements for attaining Gold Certified
Status, Scalable Data Systems 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.
The Microsoft Business Solutions Competency is
designed for partners with proven expertise in
designing and/or implementing enterprise resource
planning (ERP) and customer relationship management
(CRM) capabilities with Microsoft Business Solutions
technologies. Microsoft solutions partners have
capitalized on this opportunity to help
organizations develop and build integrated ERP and
CRM solutions around Microsoft technology. The
Microsoft Business Solutions Competency allows
partners to identify their unique, proven
proficiency in deploying Microsoft Business
Solutions applications such as Microsoft Business
Solutions–Axapta®, Microsoft Business
Solutions–Great Plains®, Microsoft
Business Solutions–Navision®, Microsoft
Business Solutions–Solomon, and Microsoft Business
Solutions–Microsoft CRM.
"Microsoft partners that specialize
in business applications meet a unique market need,"
said Tami Reller, corporate vice president of
Microsoft Business Solutions. “We are rolling out
programs and initiatives such as the Microsoft
Business Solutions competency that are designed not
only to bring continuity to partners in how they
work with us, but also to provide partners with a
way to showcase their expertise in ERP and CRM to
customers who depend on them for services."
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.
