Causeway Achieves Gold with Microsoft

Causeway has recently gained Microsoft's Gold Certified Partner status. Microsoft partners are IT providers who offer some of the best experience, skills and expertise available in the industry. Causeway has been a Microsoft partner for 3 years and the company's new Gold status now makes Causeway an elite business partner.

In order to become a Microsoft Certified Partner, tough certification criteria must be satisfied. A company achieves this by demonstrating that they have the expertise in specific technical areas by earning competencies. Currently, there are a total of 13 competencies and to earn them, partners must pass difficult exams and provide three customer references. For the Gold status, it is necessary for a company to employ Microsoft Certified professionals and have at least one Microsoft competency. A Microsoft Partner is also required to renew their competency every year.

By achieving the Gold Certified Partner status, Causeway has shown it has the knowledge, skills and commitment to help implement very high levels of technical expertise and is able to offer solutions that match a company's exacting needs. In addition, this status shows Causeway's passion in maintaining and updating Microsoft product knowledge. By being a Microsoft Partner, the software company has the use of the many resources provided by Microsoft.

Lynne Roberts, IT & Operations Manager at Causeway comments:

"We are delighted to achieve this recognition from Microsoft based on the hard work that the Causeway team has done to secure this accreditation. This level of partnership with Microsoft will help us deliver an even better service to our mutual customers and allow us to extend our overall technology relationships."
