Microsoft Competencies

In the Microsoft Partner Program, competencies are a recognized level of expertise within a given technical and/or business area. Accomplishing a Microsoft competency requires a combination of employee technical certifications, multiple customer references, and evidence of a significant amount of work in that competency. All Microsoft Gold Partners are required to have at least one competency, but of the approximate 4,500 current gold partners only 1% has more than one. To date Catapult Systems has 13 competencies, placing it among a select group of elite Microsoft partners worldwide.

Our competencies include:

  • Business Intelligence (BI)
  • Business Solutions – Dynamics CRM
  • Custom Development Solutions
  • Data Management Solutions
  • Desktop Platform
  • Information Worker (IW) – EPM, Portals & Collaboration, Search
  • Mobility Solutions
  • Networking Infrastructure
  • Security Solutions
  • Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) & Business Process
  • Systems Management
  • Unified Communications Solutions
  • Virtualization

“Achieving these competencies demonstrates Catapult’s outstanding commitment to developing deep expertise across Microsoft’s technologies and is a testament to the success of their business. I commend Catapult for continually extending their technical capabilities while offering a fantastic quality of service to more Microsoft customers each year.”

– Greg Urquhart, Microsoft U.S. ISV & National SI Partners general manager
