As one of the requirements for attaining Gold Certified Partner status,
BizCom Web Services 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. Within select Competencies, there
are Specializations that focus on specific solution areas that recognize
deeper expertise within that Competency. Serving as a specialized path to
earning those Competencies, Specializations give direct access to the tools
and resources that support that specific area of focus.
"Our industry partners allow us to deliver high-quality solutions and
applications to our customers. And we're always looking at ways to improve
our relationships," said Paul Flessner, senior vice president of Server
Applications at Microsoft Corp. "Solutions Competencies enable Microsoft to
provide resources and training to partners seeking to meet, and even surpass,
customer needs. The Competencies also provide industry partners with a way to
showcase their expertise to customers that depend on them for services, such
as building critical infrastructure including storage and hosting solutions."
"The starting point for promoting partner proficiency in developing
hosting solutions to customers is by attaining the Hosting Solutions
Specialization," said John Zanni, managing director of the Hosting Group for
the Microsoft Communications Sector at Microsoft Corp. "Partners need
resources designed to support their expertise in creating hosting solutions
based on Microsoft Solutions for Windows-based Hosting and Hosted Messaging
and Collaboration in the context of real-world business scenarios."
