In the world of technology, it matters less how much you say about yourself and more about how others recognize you. Getting the nod from an industry leader can lead to increased visibility, branding and business, which can in turn lead to accelerated growth and profits.
That’s why UNICOM (News - Alert) Engineering, a leading provider of application platforms, deployment solutions and lifecycle support services for software technology developers and OEMs worldwide, is proud of its latest coup. The company announced it has successfully fulfilled all the requirements necessary to be recognized as a Microsoft (News - Alert) Gold OEM partner at its facilities in Plano, Texas and Canton, Mass., and as a Microsoft Silver OEM partner at its Galway, Ireland site.
“UNICOM Engineering strives to achieve operational excellence in each of its facilities, and doing so is contingent upon having high-caliber professionals on our team to meet the standards of a partner like Microsoft,” Jeff Hudgins (News - Alert), VP of marketing at UNICOM Engineering, said in a statement announcing the news. “In addition to the significant value this certification confers in recognizing our long-standing partnership with Microsoft, it also benefits our customers worldwide by providing the assurance that they can trust UNICOM Engineering to deliver excellence at every level.”
Achieving the recognition was not easy. In order to qualify for the status, UNICOM underwent a lengthy evaluation process. Staff members were required to demonstrate proficiency in mission-critical areas, and employees at each site took part in training courses and competency assessments in order to ensure each UNICOM Engineering facility met the core Microsoft OEM Partner standards, which are understandably high. Due to its successful efforts, UNICOM Engineering’s U.S. locations are now among the top one percent of Microsoft partners that have attained this certification.
Microsoft Gold Certified Partners are Microsoft's most highly accredited independent technical support providers and offer a comprehensive range of support for Microsoft and multi-vendor products. This support includes data management, software development, application development and others.
