ADERANT Adds Four New Competencies to Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Status

Posted on: Wednesday, 23 January 2008, 09:00 CST

ADERANT, a global provider of business and financial management software for law firms, today announced that the company was certified by Microsoft in four new competency areas, further adding to its status as a Microsoft Gold Certified partner. ADERANT received certifications in the areas of Advanced Infrastructure (Active Directory and Identity Management Specialization), Custom Development (Web Development Specialization), Data Management (Business Intelligence Competency), and ISV/Solution Software Competency. These certifications further strengthen ADERANT's relationship with Microsoft and ensure that the company's clients have access to the most advanced applications built on Microsoft technologies.

As a Microsoft Gold Certified partner since 2005, ADERANT has already demonstrated expertise with Microsoft technologies and proven its ability to meet client needs. The new certifications provide ADERANT with additional support from Microsoft--including software, training, and guidance--that translate into higher quality applications that take full advantage of Microsoft's products and technologies.

"Solutions competencies are an important way for Microsoft to better enable ISVs, like ADERANT, to meet customer needs," said Sanjay Parthasarathy, corporate vice president of the Developer & Platform Evangelism Group at Microsoft. "They allow ISVs to keep and win 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."

"Our achievement of these new Microsoft certifications is just another example of our commitment to providing law firms with advanced applications that are built on proven, industry-standard technologies. The new Microsoft competencies will enable us to deliver better solutions to our clients in the areas that matter to them, such as security and access rights, thin-client application deployment, business intelligence, and more," said Michael Kohlsdorf, President and Chief Executive Officer for ADERANT.

New Microsoft Competencies

--

Management Specialization)

Recognizes ADERANT's proven expertise in designing and/or

implementing complex infrastructure solutions such as Active

Directory(R)- and Microsoft Host Integration Server-based design

increasingly asked to do more with less, this competency

highlights ADERANT's unique skill in helping its clients

access management solutions, improve operational efficiency,

and reduce security risks.

--

Custom Development Solutions (Web Development Specialization)

Highlights ADERANT's ability to provide custom-built solutions to

its clients that require value-added capabilities to optimize

business opportunities. Specializations within the competency are

Application Infrastructure Development, Smart Client Development

and Web Development.
