Love them or hate them, you certainly can't ignore them.
We've been around the software business a long time. We've been in the anti-Microsoft camp. We used to see them as the evil empire. But back in 2003 we realized that Microsoft was changing, that they were opening up. When they launched the .NET framework we realized that they were innovating at a frightening rate. Billions upon billions of dollars invested. Next year alone Microsoft will spend over $9 billion on innovation.
All that innovation has certainly paid off. When we have looked at SharePoint 2007 we knew we had seen the future - our future! That’s why we formed id as a 100% Microsoft focused company, that’s why id has built up all its expertise in the SharePoint space.
Our partnership with Microsoft is central to how we approach our business. Through our membership of the Microsoft Partner Network we gain access to all the tools resources and expertise we need to deliver solutions to our customers and develop our business. We have risen to Gold Partner status in recognition of the expertise that we have acquired and the effort we put in.
To some partners the certification is just a "badge on the website" to us it’s fundamental. Our ability to reach out into a network of experts allows us to deliver far more than we could ever hope to do alone.
