As one of the requirements for attaining Gold Certified Status, NetBenefit 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. NetBenefit's competency in advanced infrastructure solutions was awarded for its proven expertise in designing and implementing complex infrastructure solutions, specialising in hosting solutions. Its competency in data management solutions was awarded for its proven expertise in deploying data warehousing, online analytical processing, data mining, decision support and in-depth reporting solutions. The Microsoft Partner Programme was launched in December 2003 and represents Microsoft's ongoing commitment to the success of partners worldwide. The programme offers a single, integrated partnering framework that recognises partner expertise, rewards the total impact that partners have in the technology marketplace, and delivers more value to help partners’ businesses be successful.
