As one of the requirements for attaining Gold Certified Partner status, Tiwai Memory Masters 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.
The Business Intelligence Competency is designed for partners that specialize in Microsoft Business Intelligence Platform and Performance Management. These partners are fully equipped to help customers leverage the data they’re already collecting to build more-effective business strategies.. For customers, accurate business intelligence often equals a competitive advantage, which is why robust business-intelligence solutions are always in demand.
“Partners are essential to delivering Microsoft Business Intelligence solutions to our customers helping them grow their business and ensure they can evaluate trends in their business and act upon them,” said Tom Casey, general manager SQL Server Business Intelligence at Microsoft Corp. “Solutions competencies give Microsoft partners the resources and training they need to meet their customers’ needs. And for partners, the opportunity to highlight their expertise to customers is tremendous in the fast growing business intelligence market.”
“We are committed to working with industry partners to take advantage of Microsoft’s business intelligence (BI) platform,” said Tom Casey, general manager SQL Server Business Intelligence at Microsoft Corp. “In today’s complex business environment, BI is one of the first priorities of CIOs. Achieving Gold Partner status is an indication that a partner strives to bring real-world solutions to our joint customers.”
