Microsoft Gold Partner
The fact that Codehouse has achieved the title Microsoft Gold Partner means that we (in Microsoft's own words) "represent the highest level of competence and expertise with Microsoft technologies, and have the closest working relationship with Microsoft."It sounds quite impressive. And to be completely honest, we believe it is. To become a Microsoft Gold Partner you have to climb mountains, slay dragons and rescue damsels in distress (so to speak). The Gold title is only granted to Partners who acquire Microsoft-competencies (reaching the challenging peaks of top quality coding) in the form of certifications like Codehouse's Custom Development Solutions and Information Worker Solutions; who have their products approved by Microsoft's monstruous test team (slays dragons); and who deliver satisfactory solutions to their clients (rescuing the damsel in distress) to the extent that they will reply to client satisfaction surveys.
But just because we can brag about our title as a Microsoft Gold Partner, this does not mean we have put our ambitions on hold. In addition to the certificates given to Codehouse, almost every Codehouse developer is equipped with Microsoft titles such as MCAD, MCTS or MCPD.
