MICROSOFT: Microsoft describes Microsoft Certified Partners as follows.

Microsoft® Certified Partners are independent companies that can provide you with the highest levels of technical expertise, strategic thinking, and hands-on skills. Microsoft Certified Partners encompass a broad range of expertise and vendor affiliations and their real world perspective can help you prioritize and effectively deliver your technology solutions.

Partnering with Microsoft brings benefits both to ETL and our customers. For instance, we have access to 24 x 7 x 365 support for your project if we need additional support from Microsoft. We also get exposure to and gain significant expertise of products prior to their release. It means our customers have access to the very latest product information and support.

We have had to prove our competency to Microsoft - being a Microsoft Certified Partner means we have to employ a certain number of Microsoft Certified Professionals. Microsoft Certified Partners have been in the business, on average, for more than 5 years. Our aim is to bring experience to your projects gained through conducting similar projects over many years of service.
