Microsoft Gold Competency in Portals and Collaboration

I am pleased to announce that TGO Consulting has now obtained the Gold Competency status from Microsoft in the Portals and Collaboration category.

From the Microsoft website — With the Microsoft Portals and Collaboration competency, you can demonstrate to customers that you have the skills and proven experience in meeting team and organizational collaboration and connectivity needs across intranets, extranets, and the Internet.

While it has been very interesting (and frustrating) dealing with all the recent changes in the Microsoft Partner Network program, their tightening up of the standards to carry Silver or Gold certifications will definately help separate the wheat from the chaff in the marketplace.

A big thanks to the following team members at TGO who all studied hard to pass their exams:

• Jerry Bierema
• Richard Mintz
• Chris Mara
• Marg Wilson
