Microsoft Competencies
A Microsoft gold or silver competency can help set your company apart from the competition
by demonstrating a specific, proven skill set to your customers. Because Microsoft
competencies are aligned with how customers actually buy, customers can easily identify
your capabilities and expertise. Silver competencies offer a clear path to help
you showcase your skillset in today’s competitive environment. Earning a silver
competency can distinguish your business by placing it among the top 5 percent of
Microsoft partners worldwide. Gold competencies demonstrate your best-in-class expertise
within Microsoft’s marketplace. Earning a gold competency is evidence of the deepest,
most consistent commitment to a specific, in-demand, business solution area, along
with the distinction of being among only 1 percent of Microsoft partners worldwide
that have attained this outstanding degree of proficiency. That can be accessed
