We believe that being recognised by our peers is a visible sign of our commitment to lead, guide, support, mentor and encourage small business customers as they build an online presence.  Not only are we trusted by our customers but our professionalism is also recognised by some major players in the industry.

Since 2000 when Nick became a Microsoft Partner we have constantly sought out new opportunities to gain accreditation in as many of the technologies we work with as possible.  Partners have proven high levels of competence and expertise with Microsoft technologies and have closer working relationships with Microsoft.

In September 2009 we were accepted for the Microsoft WebsiteSpark programme which gives us free access to even more of the latest development tools and server technologies.  Check Nick's Business Blog for more information.

We became a Microsoft Small Business Specialist in 2004 and we have qualified every year since.  We advise small businesses on all aspects of their use of I.T including training and licensing and upgrades to Office 2007 and Windows Vista.  We are currently getting our customers ready for Windows 7.

 

Exams

We do not believe that we need to take the Microsoft Exams and part of our reason is the cost associated with them and the fact that they are very quickly outdated.  By following the Microsoft Partner training programmes and using third party resources we are able to keep our knowledge up to date.  The money we save on exam fees is ploughed back into new technologies such as Microsoft SharePoint Server, the components that power The Boggle, and the editors and image uploaders that add amazing functionality to our network for the benefit of our customers. 

We believe that our customers value what we do rather than a piece of "digital ink" and we are always happy to stand by everything we do and we have no problem sharing our work via our portfolio site at Webmerized.

Of course, there are some examinations we have to take - such as the Google Adwords Professional Exam and we will take these where we believe that they will add genuine value to our service proposition.
