Compsoft Becomes a Microsoft Certified Partner

13th September 2006, Alton, Hampshire. Compsoft confirmed today that it has achieved the status of Microsoft Certified Partner.

According to Microsoft's Partner Program website, "Certified Partners represent a high degree of competence and expertise with Microsoft technologies. All Certified Partners have access to a rich set of benefits that can help them gain an advantage in the marketplace and build revenue, sales momentum, and prominence while increasing their market impact."

Phil Lenton, Managing Director of Compsoft plc, commented, "We're very pleased to have become Certified Partners with Microsoft, as this brings benefits for both us and our customers. For us, it is a recognition of the skills and experience of Microsoft technologies which we now possess, and for our customers it is a reassurance for them to know we benefit from enhanced support, additional tools and resources, and advance previews of new technologies." Lenton continued, "We now want to achieve the top level of Gold Certified Partner to really underline our expertise and help us to stand out further in the marketplace."

Compsoft has been using Microsoft technologies, predominantly C++, for many years to build its own database development tool, Equinox. However, over the past three years Compsoft has increasingly been building bespoke web-based systems using Microsoft .NET, the latest generation of programming tools designed specifically for developing Internet-enabled applications.
