Flint IT Gains Second Microsoft Competency

DUNSTABLE, U.K. - Nov. 29, 2013 - PRLog -- These certifications once again demonstrate Flint IT’s continuing ability to provide small business customers with the very latest IT solutions from Microsoft, across a broad spectrum of technologies.

To earn a Microsoft Silver Competency, partners must complete a set of tests to prove their level of technology expertise, submit customer references and employ or contract the required number of Microsoft Certified Professionals who are skilled on current technology relevant for the competency.

Flint IT serves customers in Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire providing fixed price, unlimited, contract-free IT support with a fast, friendly and efficient service. Its customers use on-premise servers, datacentre servers, private cloud solutions and public cloud solutions. Working with around 100 local businesses over the past 8 years, Flint IT has developed a deep understanding of the IT requirements of the SME sector and is perfectly positioned to provide the most technically and financially appropriate solutions to meet its customers’ requirements.

“By achieving not one but two Silver Competencies we have shown how we can work across a wide range of technologies to support our customers” said Jeremy Curtis, Managing Director. “We always put our customers’ satisfaction at the heart of everything we do and this recognition from Microsoft is a vital part of achieving that goal.”

The Microsoft Silver Competency defines partners’ success as technology market leaders within a specific technology competency. Each competency has a unique set of requirements and benefits to accurately represent the specific skills and services that partners bring to the industry.  Microsoft technology competencies differentiate a partner’s specific technology capabilities to help customers find qualified solution providers with expertise in discrete areas quickly and easily.

With the Microsoft Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Hardware competency, Microsoft Partners demonstrate their ability to design and deliver quality hardware solutions optimised for the Microsoft platform.

The Microsoft Partner Network is designed to equip organisations that deliver products and services through the Microsoft platform with the training, resources and support they need to provide their customers with superior experience and outcomes.
