Contemporary - A Gold Certified Partner for Business Intelligence

No matter how some companies like to say that there are other better products or solutions than those that are made available by Microsoft, Microsoft is one of the top companies and already synonymous with computing. It is no wonder that they are the market leader.

Last evening, I was informed that Contemporary plc, a British expert company in business intelligence has managed to retain its status as Microsoft's Gold Certificate Partner for Business Intelligence.

From what I understand, this status is reviewed on a yearly basis and Microsoft does this to maintain its highest standard levels in their Certified Partners. Really, with annual stringent checks like this companies who wish to continue to be Microsoft's Gold Certified Partners are not allowed to rest on their laurels!

You may wonder why companies try their best to be accepted as a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner. Well, it’s like an insiders’ club where Gold Certified Partners have access to Microsoft’s range of resources that are exclusive for these Partners, first hand evaluation of new products or technologies and priority to Microsoft’s Support team.

By the way, Contemporary plc is a company that helps businesses understand their data and try to steer the company in the right direction based on the feedback or data received. Therefore, as a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, they are able to utilise the technologies of Microsoft for better data evaluation and analysis for their clients.

Contemporary re-qualifies as a Microsoft Gold Partner for another 12 months. This is the highest accolade in the Microsoft partner programme and a major achievement. Qualifying for this award required commitment from our technical team and excellent feedback from our customers who provided Microsoft references.

This award means that we have demonstrated superior levels of successful implementations, capabilities and certification. Microsoft Gold Certified Partners are required to meet rigorous requirements for certification and expertise. Contemporary plc has retained it's status of Gold Certified Partner for Business Intelligence by demonstrating quality of service and high levels of developer certification, deep real-world experience, and by providing completed customer reference projects that were independently verified by Microsoft.

Through engagement with Microsoft, Microsoft Gold Certified Partners have in-depth access to a variety of exclusive resources and early product information. Resources include priority access to a support team of Microsoft certified systems engineers, non-disclosure evaluation of new products and technologies, as well as planning tools and events to keep up to speed on the latest Microsoft product developments and future direction.
