Algonquin Achieves Gold Independent Software Vendor Competencies from Microsoft

Algonquin Studios recently fulfilled the requirements to earn the Silver and Gold level Independent Software Vendor (ISV) competencies from Microsoft and maintain its Microsoft Partner Network certification. These competencies recognize Algonquin's commitment to creating and delivering innovative customer solutions and services based on Microsoft technologies.

The competencies will help Algonquin demonstrate its expertise, drive client awareness, and address specific client demands. The Gold competency allows Algonquin to assert its best-in-class capabilities to clients and other partners and to differentiate itself from its competitors by highlighting the company's expertise in the software development field, as Microsoft Partners granted gold competencies must demonstrate the highest, most consistent capability and commitment to particular business solution areas.

The certification process for the Gold level competency required Algonquin to obtain client referrals and satisfaction surveys from at least 10 current clients, speaking to the knowledge, expertise and efficiency of Algonquin's employees and the usability and effectiveness of its products.

"At Algonquin Studios, we're really committed to building strong, long-lasting relationships with our clients," stated Algonquin Sales and Marketing Director, Stephen M. Kiernan II. "We're honored by the fact that so many of them were willing to speak on our behalf and help us achieve our Silver and Gold ISV competencies from Microsoft."
