A member of our Application Development team completed an intensive SharePoint course. The successful completion of this course and exams means we now have a Microsoft Certified SharePoint Specialist. Kirk Koenigsbauer, General Manager for SharePoint Product Management at Microsoft recently stated “What we hear from customers of all sizes is that they love having a single product that spans so many areas that are critical to their business — from enterprise search and content management to business intelligence, collaboration, social computing and portals.” These specialist SharePoint qualifications will enable us to continue to serve our customers’ requirements within this growing area.
Two members of the first line technical support team have also been expanding their qualifications portfolio, by successfully completing both Cisco** and Microsoft*** certifications. The Microsoft exam means another team member has now achieved the Microsoft Certified Systems Administration (MCSA) on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 credential which enhances and validates the skills used in day-to-day management of Microsoft technologies.
The continued, increasing number of accreditations held at Solsoft displays the breadth and depth of expertise within the team. ‘We are very impressed with the commitment from these employees to achieving these certifications, it’s a great achievement and I congratulate them on their results’ said Mike Ralston, Managing Director. ‘We invest significantly to ensure that employees are kept up to date with the latest technologies so we can provide enterprise-level IT support to small and medium-sized companies throughout the South West of England and South Wales. This investment and development of our highly skilled team allows our customers to be sure they have access to the best resources and skill set to give total IT peace of mind.’
