SecureTRANSIT Attains Gold Certified Partner Status in Microsoft Partner Program
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia — SecureTRANSIT Inc., announced today that it has achieved the
status of Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, reaching the highest
level in two separate competencies as a result of its success in
working with Microsoft and delivering Microsoft-compatible solutions
to airline customers: ISV/Software Solutions and Microsoft Business
Solutions.
“Customers are looking for partner companies that can bridge the gap
between their business demands and technology capabilities. They
need to trust in someone that can act as an expert adviser for their
long-term strategic technology plans. Microsoft Gold Certified
Partners, which have certified expertise and direct training and
support from Microsoft, can build a positive customer experience
with our technologies,” said Allison Watson, vice president of the
Worldwide Partner Sales and Marketing Group at Microsoft Corp.
In recent months, SecureTRANSIT has successfully leveraged Microsoft
technologies on several initiatives, announcing products that
support and extend the latest Microsoft technology, including APIScontrol™
and APISadvisor™, based
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0., and Microsoft SQL Server 2005.
“This achievement is a testament to the close relationship we have
developed with Microsoft over the last several years,“ said Steve
Macdonald, SecureTRANSIT CTO. “Reaching Microsoft Gold Partner
status underscores our commitment to providing highly reliable and
secure solutions to our aviation industry customers who must comply
with US Department of Homeland Security safety and security
regulations, as well as with similar government regulations
globally.”
The Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Program benefits Microsoft and
its partners and customers by allowing companies to easily identify
the solution providers that are best suited for their needs. Thanks
to its new status, SecureTRANSIT now receives marketing resources,
extensive technical support and training from Microsoft, as well as
greater access to Microsoft products and technologies.
