How Companies Become Microsoft Gold Certified Partners

You’ve probably seen it before: this company is a “Microsoft Gold Certified Partner”. It sounds amazing, and it sounds like a certification that all technology businesses would like to have. But do you know what it means?

According to Microsoft, Microsoft Gold Certified Partners are: “Microsoft's most highly accredited independent technical support providers and offer a comprehensive range of support for Microsoft and multi-vendor products.”

Becoming a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner isn’t easy. It is definitely a certification technology companies have to work for. When a company is awarded the certification it benefits the reputation of their company in more ways than one. So how is this prestigious certification achieved? Microsoft states: “Companies can get certified as a partner through a rigorous process that ensures proper use of licensing and equipment. Becoming a partner also requires the use of Microsoft technology as the primary platform for the company.” Although it may seem a difficult to get, becoming a certified partner of Microsoft is considered a dream come true for many technology companies.
