The Computer Doctor Further Distinguishes Itself by Earning Microsoft’s Highest Level of Technological Excellence. Northern Virginia Firm Joins Elite Group of Information Technology Solution Providers.

Prince William, VA, May 03, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The Computer Doctor, designing, deploying, and managing network and data base solutions for small and medium businesses since 1999, today announced it has been recognized at the highest level of technological excellence, marketplace impact, and satisfaction of customers through Microsoft products and engineering services.

The Computer Doctor provides Managed IT Services in Prince William and throughout the Northern Virginia region to businesses and municipalities that prefer to outsource their IT department to a local Gold Certified Partner who is the recipient of a rich set of benefits including direct access, training, and support from Microsoft.

Microsoft Gold Partners must meet very stringent requirements, including testing, exam certifications, customer surveys, and are rated on their ability to design, deploy, and manage business processes.

“We are extremely pleased to have attained the Gold Certified Partner status,” said Bryanna Altman, founder and CEO. “It gives us a clear competitive advantage by enhancing the offerings we provide to our customers. As a full service IT company, our mission includes computer and network assessments and design, installation and maintenance, remote network monitoring, on-line back-ups, database management and messaging and collaboration solutions that maximize worker productivity in or outside the office.”

“Customers are looking for partner companies that can bridge the gap between their business demands and technology capabilities,” said 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 The Computer Doctor 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, The Computer Doctor 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.

Designed to provide additional benefit and support to partners specializing in collaboration, portals and other productivity solutions, the Information Worker Solutions Competency is utilized by Gold Certified Partners that provide their customers with solutions built on familiar programs which enable them to better manage, prioritize and collaborate on increasing volumes of information. Partners that have obtained the Information Worker Solutions Competency can help their customers realize increased service revenues and new market opportunities. Specializations within the competency are Enterprise Project Management, Messaging and Collaboration, Office System Desktop Development, and Portals and Enterprise Content Management.

“Partners play a critical role in delivering solutions and applications to customers with the Microsoft Office system,” said Chris Capossela, corporate vice president of the Information Worker Product Management Group at Microsoft Corp. “The value of solutions competencies is that they enable Microsoft to deliver resources and training to partners meeting their customer needs. And for partners, the opportunity to highlight their expertise to customers is tremendous in the growing information worker solutions market.”

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.
