Increased specialization and expertise in network infrastructure, information worker, and hosted solutions moves Netropole into Microsoft's top-tier partner category.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PORTLAND, OR. – August 5, 2008 – Netropole® Inc. becomes Microsoft Certified Gold Partner.
After 12 years as a Microsoft Certified Partner, Netropole Inc. has achieved Microsoft Gold Partner status.
"Microsoft has been a great partner for us over the years, and has been instrumental in our growth and continued success.” said Dave Johnson, Netropole's Founder, President and CEO.
“We have spent the past year working very hard toward the next level of recognition, and it has opened all kinds of new business opportunities to us. We are especially proud of our SharePoint, Information Worker, and Network Infrastructure expertise and certifications.”
"The knowledge and experience that we have gained have allowed us to work with larger accounts on pure line-of-business applications based upon Microsoft technology," he added.
To achieve Gold Partner status, Netropole added staff, more training, and a series of customer referrals which were validated by Microsoft. In addition to Gold Partner Status, Netropole achieved additional certifications in Information Worker, Portals and Collaboration, and Networking Infrastructure Solutions.
"Over the years, as a company, we have been many things to many customers. We have spent the past two years trimming down our offerings and demonstrating exceptional expertise in delivering business solutions that our clients need to stay competitive, and profitable," said Johnson.
"Our Portals and Collaboration specialization has fed our SharePoint Office Server and Content Management practice, and the Networking and Infrastructure practice has supported the incredible growth of our Managed Network Services practice."
"If I had known that things would work out this well for us, I would have had us become Gold Partners much sooner than we did." he added.
