OREANDA-NEWS. September 18, 2009. I.T. Co. has been given Microsoft’s Enterprise Solution Provider status, a confirmation of I.T. Co.’s high level of expertise in tackling complex, comprehensive infrastructure projects for major government and commercial clients.

With its new status as an Enterprise Solution Provider, Microsoft Corporation now guarantees the quality of I.T. Co.’s services for the largest, most diverse companies in a vast number of locations. I.T. Co. has gained experience carrying out infrastructure projects using a variety of Microsoft software products. In order to improve collaboration with its clients, I.T. Co. has created project teams that work with the full range of Microsoft’s infrastructure solutions — from unified directory service and email systems, to IT infrastructure management systems and security systems. The managers of these teams have undergone specialized internships and have been tested by experts from Microsoft Consulting Services, allowing I.T. Co. to offer clients highly-qualified consulting services and distribute the latest in Microsoft’s corporate products.

Only companies that have earned Microsoft Gold Certified Partner status and have entered into a Services Partner Advantage tech support agreement may take part in Microsoft’s Enterprise Solution Provider program. The Services Partner Advantage agreement permits companies to hire Microsoft experts in some instances in order to provide top quality, prompt solutions for client problems related to project integration and development.

Candidates for Enterprise Solution Partner status must also meet a number of additional criteria. In particular, companies must have the requisite range of specializations within four main competency areas: Advanced Infrastructure Solutions, Information Worker Solutions, Security Solutions, and Unified Communications Solutions.

I.T. Co. has been working with Microsoft for over 10 years and earned its Gold Certified Partner status in 2006. The company’s extensive experience in implementing infrastructure projects using Microsoft software is confirmed by I.T. Co.’s lengthy list of clients, which include the Federal Fund for Mandatory Health Insurance, North Caucasian Bank of Sberbank of Russia, RusGidro OJSC, Gazprom TransGaz Saint Petersburg LLC, Gazprom TransGaz Stavropol LLC, the Administrations of the Moscow and Voronezh Regions, the Russian Federal Tax Services, and many others.

“We would like to congratulate I.T.
