“Achieving Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) Gold Certified Partner status has been great for us. We have been a Microsoft partner since 1994, and currently there are over 50,000 Microsoft partners around the world, but we are a member of a very small group of 200 Microsoft Gold Certified Partners. By achieving that, everyone knows that we have achieved a level of maturity in the IT market. This is significant because whenever Microsoft makes a large software product sale, they actually retain about 10 to 15% of the overall purchase price to go in and deliver consulting services. However, and most importantly, most of the time they do so through their Gold partners. Therefore, the Gold Partner status number one, says that we have achieved a level of proficiency and number two it means that Microsoft is going to be spending money with us.” - Robert C. Rhodes
