I am pleased to announce that H Tech Solutions is now a Microsoft Silver Small Business competency partner. This is the culmination of months of effort to complete the Microsoft requirements for this program.
We decided to pursue this certification from Microsoft for the following reasons:
1. Small businesses are a core customer for H Tech Solutions
2. The Small Business Competency training focuses on technologies used by H Tech Solutions including Office 365, Windows Intune, and the Windows Client OS.
3. Silver partners can provide delegated administration for customer’s Office 365 and Windows Intune environments
4. Silver partners have access to business critical support from Microsoft to resolve cloud related support issues
5. Silver partners have access to advisory support and assistance from Microsoft consulting
6. Silver partners have unlimited access to training from the Microsoft Partner Learning Center
7. Silver partners have access to the latest product news and technical information
In order to achieve a Microsoft Silver Small Business competency, and organization must complete the following:
1. Pass two qualifying certification exams:
Exam 74-324: Administering Office 365 for Small Business
Exam 70-680: Windows 7, Configuring
2. Pass the business-focused assessment:
Sales Assessment for Small Business
3. Provide customer evidence:
Your organization must have three customer references that feature how, within the previous 12 months, you have provided solutions based on the products and technologies associated with this competency. After a reference has been approved by your customer and by Microsoft, it can be used toward earning or renewing a competency for up to two years.
At this stage, the Silver Small Business Competency is the highest certification that a Microsoft partner can earn as a sole-proprietor. For example, the Gold Small Business Competency requires at least 2 individuals on staff who are have passed the required certification exams. If the business expands beyond its current size, it is very possible that H Tech Solutions would pursue the Gold Small Business competency in the future.
