DataCol receive MS Partnership for 2008
DataCol have successfully renewed their Microsoft Gold Partnership in March 2008.
DataCol New Zealand achieved globally recognised Microsoft Certifications for its PDA and web applications and joined with both Microsoft and Hewlett Packard as a business partner. These major achievements represent acceptance at the highest levels of the IT world, and attest to the team's professionalism and commitment to the finest standards in software solutions.
Microsoft Certification
Major aspects of the SevenX system have been certified by qualified Microsoft representatives, providing customers with the knowledge that their system has the backing of the recognised giant in software technology. DataCol International achieved the status of a Microsoft Certified Partner in March 2005, and now also holds the Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Competency. Gaining certified status in the Microsoft Partner programme opens up a whole range of Microsoft technology and services to DataCol’s development team, and has ensured that SevenX continues to outstrip its opposition in the data collection marketplace. Microsoft has declared a commitment to companies that support their vision of an integrated, secure technology environment and DataCol is proud to be associated with their Partner programme.
