Absalon International is one of the first industry specific partners in the Nordics to earn the new Gold level for CRM in Microsoft Partner Network
Posted: May 19, 2011
Absalon International announced today that Absalon International has now achieved both the Gold level in Customer Relationship Management and Silver level as an Independent Software Vendor in the new Microsoft Partner Program. The new certifications within the Microsoft Partner Program emphasis not only on technical certifications like in the former Partner Program but also includes certifications on how to implement projects successfully, sales methodologies and number of new users sold etc.
For customers, the new Partner Program levels helps identify Microsoft Partners that have all the skills necessary in developing and delivering solutions based on Microsoft technology. The threshold to reach the new Silver and Gold levels are much higher than before and to reach Gold levels partners really need to Excel in their competencies.
“By requiring both the Gold Customer Relationship Management and Silver Independent Software Vendor competencies before most other Microsoft partners have done it, Absalon is a partner that really stands out as one of the leaders in our Microsoft Dynamics CRM community” said Peter Vach, Partner Recruitment Manager in Sweden. “Microsoft congratulates Absalon on achieving these levels within the Partner Program and it demonstrates its success, focus and commitment in the Microsoft Dynamics CRM strategy.”
“As we know now we are among the first in Sweden to fulfil all requirements in achieving Gold status for CRM and are one of the very first in Northern Europe to achieve both Gold in CRM and Silver in the ISV-competency. You won’t find many partners that are aligning this tight to the Microsoft Dynamics strategy as Absalon does,” said Sebastian Merlöv, CEO, Absalon International.
