SIS Achieves Microsoft Gold Management and Virtualization Competency

LEXINGTON, Ky., Sept. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- SIS, a leading technology and managed IT solutions provider, today announced it has attained a Microsoft Gold Management and Virtualization 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.

"Earning our Gold level competency in Management and Virtualization demonstrates our infrastructure management and virtualization expertise and our commitment to providing cost-effective solutions to help customers improve data-center operations as well as our deep knowledge of Microsoft and its products," said Steve Sigg, President and CEO.

In addition to the Gold Management and Virtualization Competency, SIS currently holds 7 Silver competencies in the following areas:

• Collaboration and Content
• Devices and Deployment
• Management and Virtualization
• Server Platform
• Data Platform
• Mobility
• Hosting

"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."
