PR Log (Press Release) – Mar 16, 2009 – Charleston, South Carolina – DataSpring, a market leader in high quality business IT and custom technology solutions, has again been awarded Gold Certification in the Microsoft Partner Program.  This certification distinguishes DataSpring as a Microsoft partner with the highest level of competence and expertise with Microsoft technologies.  A very small fraction of Microsoft Partner companies worldwide achieve Gold level status each year.  To do so DataSpring demonstrated proven success meeting client needs as well as achieving Microsoft competencies and certifications.

Given the market adoption of Microsoft technologies, DataSpring has continued to invest in the people, education and resources necessary to achieve Gold Partner status year after year.  “The continuation of our Microsoft Gold Partner status illustrates our dedication to acquiring leading expertise to benefit our clients,” said Stan Padgett, President, DataSpring.  “We deliver solutions that result in great cost and process efficiencies and Microsoft technologies often play a significant role.”

To achieve and maintain the Gold Partner status Microsoft conducts an ongoing rigorous review of client satisfaction.  “I’m pleased to say our clients have rated our service and capability amongst the best in the Southeast.” said Scott LeRoy, Chief Client Officer, DataSpring.   “We consider this input critical to addressing service improvements and a driver for considering new competencies.”

Microsoft Competencies are designed to help differentiate a partner’s capabilities with specific Microsoft technologies to customers looking for a particular type of solution.
