SNVC Attains Microsoft Gold Competency Certification for Increased Level of Service to Clients

FAIRFAX, Va., April 10, 2012  /PRNewswire/ -- SNVC, a leading provider of IT and network solutions designed to optimize business, has achieved Microsoft Gold Competency Certification via its wholly-owned subsidiary Advanced Data. With this distinction, SNVC attains the top certification given for Microsoft solutions partners.

"From a technical standpoint, we have more certified Microsoft professionals than most of our competitors," said Justin Haffey, SNVC Chief Technical Officer. "This achievement guarantees you're working with credible, skilled people who have the tools and know-how to help you make strategic IT decisions for your company."

SNVC is regarded as an innovator in IT, solving difficult business challenges in information technology since 1998. When SNVC added SharePoint capabilities to its in-house expertise in 2011 through Advanced Data, the company strengthened its service offering exponentially and became a one-stop provider for Portals and Collaboration, CRM, Knowledge Management, Document Management, Business Process Improvement and more.

"The achievement of Gold Partner (Portals and Collaboration) is an exciting step for the direction of the company," said Pete DiPaola, Vice President and General Manager of Advanced Data. "We thank the employees who went through the rigorous training and testing process to earn this certification, as well as our clients who provided references on our work." In addition to the requirements for demonstrated certification and expertise, Gold Partner status is also based on a list of customer reference projects that are independently verified by Microsoft.

SNVC is fully committed to workforce development and provides numerous opportunities for employees to participate in training programs and seek professional certifications. "SNVC continues to prioritize investment in our team members," said SNVC President and CEO Tom DeWitt. "Our commitment to the training and development of our people translates to results for our clients."

Status as a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner is awarded to just one percent of partners and provides in-depth access to exclusive resources and early product information, non-disclosure evaluation of new products and technologies, as well as planning tools and events. "This will enable our team to keep up to speed on the latest Microsoft product developments and future direction. The smarter we are, the better we can solve our customers' business challenges," added DeWitt.
