Today, it is time for cake. To celebrate the fact that IT Local officially became a Microsoft Gold Partner this week! This means we meet the strictest standards Microsoft sets for its partners. And we can serve you as a client even better.
To become a Microsoft Gold Partner, we had to demonstrate on a number of specialists (competencies) that we have broad technical knowledge and skills to deliver services for a Microsoft product or technology. To earn the certification, Microsoft vetted us and our staff passed several tests and exams. An annual knowledge test determines whether we can remain a Microsoft Gold Partner.
Advantages for you as a client
As a client, you were already assured of good service around all Microsoft solutions. With our gold certification, we can serve you even better:
- Our lines of communication with Microsoft are shorter. And that comes in handy when there is an urgent or complicated problem. After all, we then benefit from guaranteed response times and also have access to their premier support for specialist questions. For you, that means faster and high-quality help.
- We are now the first to receive Microsoft news and updates and have access to various training courses. This allows us to offer you the very latest insights and corresponding support to move your business forward.
- Because, as a Microsoft Gold Partner, we have access to various product licences, we can easily develop a demo for you for a proof of concept.
