Producer of the acclaimed RuleSafe® policy and compliance suite, Secoda Risk Management, today announced that it has achieved Microsoft Certified Partner status.Designed to help the company grow revenue and build sales momentum, while improving brand prominence and market impact, the Microsoft Certified Partner Program now provides the Governance, Risk and Compliance specialist with a rich set of resources.
Thanks to Secoda's long standing partnership with Whale Communications which was subsequently acquired by Microsoft last year, RuleSafe®, Secoda's flagship product, is founded on Microsoft technology and already integrates with Microsoft's Intelligent Application Gateway (IAG 2007). Customer organisations are allowed by the resulting combination of RuleSafe with IAG 2007 to improve and test employee awareness, and to enforce the acceptance of certain policies as a precondition of allowing people to work remotely or to gain access to specific systems, applications, and data.
Managing Director of Secoda, Adrian Wright, said: "Achieving Microsoft Certified Partner status will further enable us to bring high value services and solutions to our customers, grow our business to the next level and benefit our shareholders". "We are excited about the significant new opportunities that now exist for us to generate greater visibility, capture new customers and increase revenues" added Secoda's Director of Marketing, Charles Fairbairn.
Acceptance into the Microsoft Certified Partner program requires companies to earn points in categories such as tested Microsoft-based solutions, Microsoft Certified Professional certification, Microsoft competencies, business wins and customer satisfaction ratings. Microsoft Certified Partners, meeting stringent qualification requirements, are independent companies that provide the highest levels of technical expertise, strategic thinking and hands-on skills.
