National Networks is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, which
means that they have demonstrated superior levels of successful
implementations, capabilities and certification. Microsoft Gold
Certified Partners are required to meet rigorous requirements
for certification and expertise. National Networks has reached
the status of Gold Certified Partner for by demonstrating increased
levels of developer certification, deep real-world experience,
and by providing completed customer reference projects that were
independently verified by Microsoft.
Through engagement with Microsoft, Microsoft Gold Certified Partners
have in-depth access to a variety of exclusive resources and early
product information. Resources include priority access to a support
team of Microsoft certified systems engineers, non-disclosure
evaluation of new products and technologies, as well as planning
tools and events to keep up to speed on the latest Microsoft product
developments and future direction.
National Networks employs Microsoft Certified Professionals (MCPs);
individuals who have passed certification exams designed to validate
their mastery using Microsoft tools and technologies. A recent
study of Microsoft Certified Systems Engineers (MCSEs) and their
supervisors by Jack McKillip, Ph.D. at Southern Illinois University,
rated MCPs as highly effective workers on the job and IT supervisors
rated MCSEs as more competent on all global dimensions as compared
to non-certified systems engineers. Be sure to ask for a MCP on
your next project.
This year Microsoft will continue to invest in certification
and enhanced resources and support for Microsoft Gold Certified
Partners as part of our ongoing commitment to provide customers
with choice and best of breed product solutions via Microsoft
Gold Certified Partner companies such as National Networks.

Allison Watson
