Solgenia Achieves Microsoft Gold Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Competency and Gold Server Competency in the Microsoft Partner Network

Solgenia® (http://www.solgenia.com ), an innovative global leader in Information and Communication Technologies, today announced it has attained a Microsoft (News - Alert) Gold Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Competency and Microsoft Gold Server Competency, demonstrating a "best-in-class" ability and commitment to meet Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) Corp. customers' evolving needs in today's dynamic business environment and distinguishing itself within the top one percent of Microsoft's partner ecosystem. A portfolio of competencies showcases that Solgenia is committed to focusing on in-demand, business solution areas, along with ensuring it can meet the evolving needs of customers because of market changes.

To earn a Microsoft Gold competency, Solgenia had to successfully complete exams (resulting in Microsoft Certified Professionals) to prove its level of technology expertise and then designate its certified professionals uniquely to one Microsoft competency, ensuring a certain level of staffing capacity. Solgenia also had to submit customer references that demonstrated successful projects (along with implementing a yearly customer satisfaction study), meet a revenue commitment (for most gold competencies), and pass technology and/or sales assessments.

"Solgenia is proud to have achieved the Microsoft Gold ISV competency and Gold Server competency as these showcase our expertise in and commitment to oday's technology market, and demonstrate our deep knowledge of Microsoft and its products," said Ermanno Bonifazi, Chairman of the Board, Solgenia SpA. "We plan to accelerate our customers' success by serving as technology advisors for their business demands."

"By achieving a portfolio of competencies, partners demonstrate deep expertise and consistent capability on the latest Microsoft technology," said Jon Roskill, corporate vice president, Worldwide Partner Group at Microsoft Corp. "These partners have a deep expertise that puts them in the top one percent of our partner ecosystem, and their proficiency and true commitment will help customers drive innovative solutions on the latest Microsoft technology today and into the future."

All 28 Microsoft technology competencies differentiate a partner's specific technology capabilities, helping customers find qualified solution providers with expertise in discrete areas quickly and easily.

The Microsoft Partner Network helps partners strengthen their capabilities to showcase leadership in the marketplace on the latest technology, to better serve customers and, with 640,000 Microsoft partners in their ecosystem, to easily connect with one of the most active, diverse networks in the world.

Through the Microsoft Gold ISV and Server competencies, Solgenia now has access to the latest technology, market opportunities, and sales and marketing resources that have been specifically created with ISVs in mind. From planning the development cycle to supporting its customers, Solgenia will now have all the tools and resources needed to build innovative solutions and bring them to market.
