TEL AVIV, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RADVISION(R) Ltd. (Nasdaq: RVSN - News), a
leading provider of video network infrastructure and developer tools for unified
visual communications over IP, 3G and emerging next-generation IMS networks,
today announced it has attained Gold Certified Partner status in the Microsoft
Partner Program with competencies in both Networking Infrastructure and
ISV/Software Solutions, recognizing RADVISION's expertise and impact in the
technology marketplace. As a Gold Certified Partner, RADVISION has demonstrated
expertise with Microsoft technologies and a proven ability to meet customers'
needs. Microsoft Gold Certified Partners receive a rich set of benefits,
including access, training and support, giving them a competitive advantage in
the channel.
"We are extremely pleased to have attained Gold Certified Partner status in the
Microsoft Partner Program for the fourth year running. This allows us to clearly
promote our expertise and relationship with Microsoft to our customers," said
Bob Romano, VP Enterprise Marketing of RADVISION. "The benefits provided through
our Gold Certified Partner status will allow us to continue to enhance the
offerings that we provide for customers."
"Customers are looking for partner companies that can bridge the gap between
their business demands and technology capabilities," said Allison Watson,
corporate vice president of the Worldwide Partner Group at Microsoft Corp. "They
need to trust in a company that can act as an expert adviser for their long-term
strategic technology plans. Microsoft Gold Certified Partners, which have
certified expertise and direct training and support from Microsoft, can build a
positive customer experience with our technologies. Today, Microsoft recognizes
RADVISION as a Gold Certified Partner for demonstrating its expertise in
providing customer satisfaction using Microsoft products and technology."
As one of the requirements for attaining Gold Certified Partner status,
RADVISION had to declare a Microsoft Competency. Microsoft Competencies are
designed to help differentiate a partner's capabilities with specific Microsoft
technologies to customers looking for a particular type of solution. Each
Competency has a unique set of requirements and benefits, formulated to
accurately represent the specific skills and services that partners bring to the
technology industry. Within select Competencies, there are Specializations that
focus on specific solution areas that recognize deeper expertise within that
Competency. Serving as a specialized path to earning those Competencies,
Specializations give direct access to the tools and resources that support that
specific area of focus.
Microsoft partners
enrolled in the Networking Infrastructure Solutions Competency have proven their
proficiency in implementing solutions based on Microsoft's Windows Server 2003
or Windows Server 2008 Operating Systems, or Windows Small Business Server 2008
and Essential Business Server 2008. These implementations may include crafting
solutions that connect Windows-based servers, PC locations and the Internet;
installing a server farm; or building a small-business Windows Server
stand-alone solution that includes file and print capabilities.
"We place tremendous value on our partners, which help us deliver solutions and
applications to customers," said Ward Ralston, group product manager for Windows
Server at Microsoft Corp. "Solutions competencies provide an integrated
partnering framework that recognizes an enterprise's expertise and rewards it
for the effect it has in the technology marketplace. It also allows companies to
demonstrate for customers their broad knowledge of building
wide-ranging solutions based on Microsoft technologies, such as setting up
networks using Windows Server 2008 and the Windows Essential Server Solutions
product line."
The ISV/Software Solutions Competency recognizes the skill and focus partners
bring to a particular solution set. Microsoft Gold Certified Partners that have
obtained this competency have a successful record of developing and marketing
packed software based on Microsoft technologies.
"Solutions competencies are an important way for Microsoft to better enable ISVs
to meet customer needs," said Walid Abu-Hadba, corporate vice president of the
Developer and Platform Evangelism Group at Microsoft Corp. "They allow ISVs to
keep and win customers through their deep knowledge of solutions-based Microsoft
platform technologies. Microsoft has a long history of working closely with ISV
partners to help them deliver compelling solutions and applications to our
mutual customers, and the Microsoft Competencies are an important step in
continuing to enhance vital relationships with ISVs worldwide."
The Microsoft Partner Program was launched in October 2003 and represents
Microsoft's ongoing commitment to the success of partners worldwide. The program
offers a single, integrated partnering framework that recognizes partner
expertise, rewards the total impact that partners have in the technology
marketplace, and delivers more value to help partners' businesses be successful.
