Omicron was the first Microsoft Certified Partner in the Greater PA District to receive a Dual Gold Certification. This dual certification is now in Advanced Infrastructure Solutions and Integrated E-Business Solutions. Such certification is part of a program launched by Microsoft that seeks to raise the visibility and awareness of its key strategic partners and to help direct customers to a select stable of world-class Certified Partners—those with proven expertise in specific Microsoft applications and technologies. Gold Certification is the highest designation currently extended by Microsoft to such Partners. Certification and acceptance into the program requires exacting standards for Partner companies. To be considered, companies must submit in-depth case studies of major assignments completed in the last 12 months.
Omicron was one of the first companies nationwide to receive the designation and, as stated above, the first firm in the Greater PA District to receive a dual Gold Certification. The dual Gold Certification from Microsoft serves to validate Omicron's ability to develop, deploy and manage sophisticated e-commerce systems for its clients as well as its expertise in creating enterprise-wide infrastructure to make such e-commerce programs work.
Omicron has maintained a unique relationship with Microsoft, serving as a strategic partner in the deployment of Microsoft technologies as well as a consultant and software developer to Microsoft itself. Omicron's ability to serve Microsoft's needs, as well as the needs of its accounts, speaks volumes about Omicron's technical prowess and its tradition of serving world-class clients, here as well as nationwide.
Omicron has particularly strong expertise in implementing Microsoft solutions such as SharePoint, BizTalk and .NET. <See Web Services>
Prior to attaining the highest certification in Microsoft's most recent partner program, Omicron was recognized as a Microsoft Solution Provider Partner - the highest distinction given to a participant in Microsoft's previous Solution Provider program. These elevated statuses provide Omicron unique access to Microsoft products, technologies, and information. Omicron has received numerous recognitions from Microsoft over the years, including being one of the hand-picked members of the "Intranet Special Forces" team due to Omicron's early commitment to Internet technologies and its expertise using Microsoft products. Omicron was also evaluated by a Microsoft Product Group, in Redmond, relating to an implementation of a technology licensed by 100's of OEM Customers. Microsoft stated that we had done the best job second only to Visio in the implementation of the technology that was licensed from Microsoft. This list included companies such as AutoDesk and SAP.
As a result of this evaluation and approval, Omicron has partnered with both the marketing and software development teams of Microsoft-Redmond Campus to deliver services to industry leaders. In fact, Omicron is proud to call Microsoft Corporation one of its clients. Another example of the level of depth we attain is our work with Microsoft's BizTalk product. Although BizTalk was released in December of 2000, Omicron first started working with the BizTalk team in March of 1999, almost two years before the product was generally available. This early work in both XML and BizTalk has allowed us to support five authors within Omicron Consulting, allowing them to write numerous books on XML and BizTalk. <See XMLabs>
