Qorus Software Achieves a Microsoft Gold ISV Competency

PRLog (Press Release) - Nov. 5, 2012 - Qorus Software, provider of document automation solutions for Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Office, today announced it has attained a Gold ISV (Independent Software Vendor) competency, demonstrating a “best-in-class” ability and commitment to meet Microsoft Corp. customers’ evolving needs in today’s dynamic business environment and distinguishing itself within the top 1 percent of Microsoft’s partner ecosystem.
To earn a Microsoft gold competency, partners must successfully complete exams (resulting in Microsoft Certified Professionals) to prove their level of technology expertise, and then designate these certified professionals uniquely to one Microsoft competency, ensuring a certain level of staffing capacity. They also must submit customer references that demonstrate successful projects (along with implementing a yearly customer satisfaction study), meet a revenue commitment (for most gold competencies), and pass technology and/or sales assessments.

Qorus Software’s document automation platform for Microsoft SharePoint, Qorus DocGeneration, enables organizations to access document automation functionality natively in SharePoint and Microsoft Word and PowerPoint to design intelligent templates that dynamically merge with live data stored in SharePoint lists, CRM systems and virtually any enterprise system.

Qorus DocGeneration clients benefit from dramatic reductions in average document generation time of up to 20 hours down to minutes as documents are automatically populated with the most up-to-date content and sent through a formal review and approval process before being sent to the intended recipients. This automation process eliminates human error and formatting issues while dramatically reducing the average turn-around time on document requests.

“This Microsoft Gold ISV gives us the stamp of approval from Microsoft as an approved vendor offering a complementary product to Microsoft’s SharePoint platform and Microsoft Office. As customers are also required to complete a customer satisfaction survey and also confirm successful delivery of high-grade solutions, attaining a Gold Competency is also a stamp of approval from our clients,” said Ray Meiring, CEO of Qorus Software. “In essence, the Microsoft Gold Competency serves as reassurance to the market that our technology can run seamlessly within a Microsoft environment and that as a vendor we are able to deliver high-grade solutions and excellent levels of service.”

“By achieving a gold competency, partners have demonstrated the highest, most consistent capability and commitment to the latest Microsoft technology,” said Jon Roskill, corporate vice president, Worldwide Partner Group at Microsoft Corp. “These partners have a deep expertise that puts them in the top 1 percent of our partner ecosystem, and their proficiency will help customers drive innovative solutions on the latest Microsoft technology.”

The Microsoft Partner Network helps partners strengthen their capabilities to showcase leadership in the marketplace on the latest technology, to better serve customers and, with 640,000 Microsoft partners in their ecosystem, to easily connect with one of the most active, diverse networks in the world.
