What are the Competency Requirements for Microsoft Gold Partner Status?
The journey to becoming ‘Gold’ is a long haul one, so companies that embrace Gold partners can be sure that they are putting their faith in people who have mastered their craft and earned their title. To attain the ‘Gold’ status, organisations must first subscribe to the Microsoft Partner Network Community before they can qualify for membership. Companies must have extended their customer base by at least 25 new customers within the previous 12 months. For these customers, organisations must be associated as Office 365 Delegated Administrator or Transacting Partner or Digital Partner of Record.
We met the following necessary competency requirements for Microsoft Gold status.
These include having at least four qualified Microsoft Certified Trainers that have passed at the following Microsoft Dynamics 365 certification exams:
- Microsoft Power Platform Functional Consultant
And at least one of the following:
- Sales
- Marketing
- Customer Service
- Field Service
Organisations must also have five or more customer references and at least 120 partner points. There must also be a licensing overview assessment and a sales and marketing competency assessment.
What Are The Benefits of Microsoft Gold Certification?
- Agility
Microsoft solutions are constantly changing, as are competency requirements. Gold Partners are agile and adaptable and therefore able to keep up with these changes. Gold Partners leverage years of experience with the most up-to-date techniques. Picture this: You need heart surgery. You want a surgeon with decades of experience, but not decades-old methods. Gold Partners combine experience with modernity, offering the best aspects of the old ways and the new. With the latest technology, Microsoft Partners ensure business excellence and long-term success.
- High standards
Microsoft Gold accreditation confirms that a partner has met the strict standard requirements issued by Microsoft. To have passed this threshold is an achievement that reassures company owners their data and systems are in safe hands. Microsoft requires at least 15 workers within a team to pass core value exams for Gold accreditation, five of whom have to pass additional specialty tests. Furthermore, the exam process is repeated annually, thus removing the risk of declining standards.
Because Gold Partners have so many highly trained staff members on their team, staff turnover will not disrupt project management or workforce engagement.
- Proof of Concept
Gold Partners have exclusive access to numerous product licences, enabling them to offer clients test drives before making financial commitments or instigating the software solutions. Business leaders who need to see proof of concept before making a decision will find the Gold competency incredibly useful.
- The Microsoft Connection
Microsoft Gold partners are so well trained in their field that they rarely required assistance from Microsoft. However, in such times where they need extra help and assistance, they have direct access to advanced support partners at Microsoft Business Solutions. This allows faster response times, high-quality customer support and regular updates.
- Commitment
Because Gold Partners are so confident and of the game in their field, staff turnover is lower than it is elsewhere. Gold Partners offer commitment that benefits companies, employees and customers alike.
- Cost-efficiency
Working with Microsoft Gold Partners gives organisations access to exclusive discounts on features such as Microsoft Office 365. These discounts are only offered by Gold accredited firms.
