PM Sight, leader in project and portfolio management, has been recognised for its excellence in delivering Microsoft solutions, with Gold Certified Partner status.
The Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Programme provides a way for customers to identify companies that have proven their commitment and expertise in delivering Microsoft technologies.
"PM Sight is committed to the Microsoft brand and to investing in the skills required to provide our clients with the best service available. This acknowledgement highlights PM Sight's competence in understanding the business needs of its clients and the company's ability to implement solutions that fully address them," said Paul Viviers, Managing Director of PM Sight.
"The benefits provided through our Gold Certified Partner status will allow us to continue with our vision of being the leading specialist in the South African EPM market."
Microsoft's goal behind this programme is to raise the bar on quality for Windows software products. PM Sight has demonstrated extensive expertise in software development by submitting core components of the Microsoft Enterprise Project Management platform. With its ISV status with Microsoft, PM Sight is published in the Microsoft global product directory. Microsoft also assists PM Sight with software design, marketing and sales training on Microsoft technologies, and sales leads.
"Only companies that have demonstrated high levels of customer service proved their experience and attained advanced certification receive the designation of Microsoft Gold Certified Partner," said Denis Klimashev, Enterprise Partner Group Lead at Microsoft.
"Today, Microsoft recognises PM Sight for its skills and expertise in providing customer satisfaction with Microsoft products and technology." The Microsoft Office Enterprise Project Management (EPM) Solution is a platform that provides management with visibility, insight and control of project-based work to optimise business performance.
"In essence, it provides an enterprise class environment that allows executives and managers to manage project-based work in their organisations with the same rigor that they use in managing the front-office and the back-office functions. Using the Microsoft Office EPM Solution, organisations can align work in their organisations with their business priorities, automate activities such as project management, portfolio management, resource management and collaboration, and accelerate business success.
"PM Sight's customers benefit the most. We have demonstrated the necessary skills and a portfolio of real world customer references to stand out in the enterprise project management solution marketplace. Given the number of choices in software products in the market today, customers need to quickly learn who is committed to integration and testing. Clients can be assured that PM Sight has a policy of ongoing platform testing and integration."
Viviers said: "The fact that we maintain multiple competencies in different areas means we have a deep understanding of how to integrate one product with another product, which further reduces the risk to a project. Combined with its capabilities in complementary technologies such as PM Revolution, a solution which incorporates industry-specific standards, best practices and enterprise strength visualisation and integration spanning the entire project life cycle, and EPM Solutions, this means PM Sight investment - in maintaining its certification - goes a long way to giving customers the comfort they should look for when choosing a partner to implement their solutions."
