ProModel Corporation Attains Gold Certified Partner Status in Microsoft Partner Program

Posted on: Tuesday, 8 January 2008, 12:00 CST

ProModel Corporation, a provider of predictive analytic BI solutions, today announced it has attained Gold Certified Partner status in the Microsoft Partner Program with a competency in ISV/Software Solutions, recognizing ProModel's expertise and impact in the technology marketplace. As a Gold Certified Partner, ProModel has demonstrated expertise with Microsoft technologies, and proven ability to meet customers' needs. Microsoft Gold Certified Partners receive a rich set of benefits, including access, training, and support, giving them a competitive advantage in the channel.

ProModel provides simulation-based, decision making tools and techniques for improving performance throughout the enterprise. ProModel's predictive technology and expert consulting services help customers improve project or product portfolios, optimize supply-chains and implement Lean/Six Sigma initiatives.

"We are extremely pleased to have attained Gold Certified Partner status in the Microsoft Partner Program," says Keith Vadas ProModel President and CEO. "This allows us to clearly promote our expertise and relationship with Microsoft to our customers. The benefits provided through our Gold Certified Partner status will allow us to continue to enhance our offerings."

"Customers are looking for partner companies that can bridge the gap between their business demands and technology capabilities," says Allison Watson, Vice President of the Worldwide Partner Sales and Marketing Group at Microsoft Corp. "They need to trust in a company 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. Today, Microsoft recognizes ProModel Corporation as a new Gold Certified Partner for demonstrating its expertise providing customer satisfaction using Microsoft products and technology."

As one of the requirements for attaining Gold Certified Partner status, ProModel had to declare a Microsoft Competency. Microsoft Competencies are designed to help differentiate a partner's capabilities with specific Microsoft technologies to customers looking for a particular type of solution. Each competency has a unique set of requirements and benefits, formulated to accurately represent the specific skills and services that partners bring to the technology industry. The ISV/Software Solutions Competency recognizes the skill and focus partners bring to a particular solution set. Microsoft Gold Certified Partners that have obtained this competency have a successful record of developing and marketing packed software based on Microsoft technologies.

"Solutions competencies are an important way for Microsoft to better enable ISVs to meet customer needs," says Sanjay Parthasarathy, Corporate Vice President of the Developer and Platform Evangelism Group at Microsoft. "They allow ISVs to win and keep customers through their deep knowledge of solutions-based Microsoft platform technologies. Microsoft has a long history of working closely with ISV partners to help them deliver compelling solutions and applications to our mutual customers, and the Microsoft Competencies are an important step in continuing to enhance vital relationships with ISVs worldwide."

The Microsoft Partner Program was launched in October 2003, and represents Microsoft's ongoing commitment to the success of partners worldwide. The program offers a single, integrated partnering framework that recognizes partner expertise, rewards the total impact that partners have in the technology marketplace, and delivers more value to help partners' businesses be successful.
