AdvantageCS Attains Microsoft Gold Level Partner Status in Cloud Platform Competency

AdvantageCS is proud to announce that we have achieved Microsoft Gold Level Partner Status in the Cloud Platform Competency. The requirements for such a status are stringent, and only the top Microsoft partners achieve Gold.

The Microsoft Gold competency process requires that a number of partner employees successfully complete technical exams to become Microsoft Certified Professionals on Azure technologies, and the company must meet certain performance levels. In addition, the partner must provide comprehensive customer references from successful cloud projects. Becoming a Gold Level Partner reinforces to our clients that AdvantageCS is committed to a high standard of excellence and professionalism.

“The AdvantageCS Cloud Services team is committed to providing top-notch solutions for our clients by continually improving our cloud offering---keeping on top of new technologies to improve performance and reliability while minimizing cost,” said Matt Varblow, Vice President, Engineering Services. “Our recent Gold certification will help us innovate as it provides a higher level of engagement with our Microsoft contacts and additional dev/test credits that we can use to step up our internal R&D efforts.”

In addition to this recognition through the Microsoft Partner Network, AdvantageCS is also a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP). This is a separate program which allows us to sell packaged solutions on Azure, combining Azure hosting with our software and services. We manage the Azure resources and provide a single point of contact for supporting the solution---Advantage software running in Azure data centers.
