San Francisco, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) March 02, 2011

Workshare, a leading provider of document collaboration software, today announces it has been awarded Microsoft Certified Gold ISV Partner status in the Microsoft Partner Program. A Microsoft Gold partner since 2005, Workshare has once again achieved the highest level of Microsoft certification as a Gold ISV partner and met the new, even more rigorous, Microsoft Partner Program requirements.

The Gold ISV certification requires the highest level of competence and expertise with Microsoft technologies, and the distinguished partners who achieve this level are recognized by Microsoft as elite partners who leverage best-in-class technology.

"The Microsoft Partner Network is designed to empower solution providers to succeed in today's business environment. By achieving the prestigious Gold competency, participating companies are provided with a rich set of benefits, including increased customer visibility through branding and accessibility, training and support," said Jon Roskill, Corporate Vice President, Worldwide Partner Group at Microsoft Corp. "We are proud to put forth a program that provides the right resources to help a company develop the expertise customers demand in today's competitive market and also provides the community and infrastructure that can connect them to one another, lowering costs for all parties."

“This new Gold level of certification from Microsoft represents the high level of commitment Workshare has to Microsoft products,” said Scott Smull, CEO of Workshare. “Our partnership with Microsoft enables us to provide an extremely high level of satisfaction to customers leveraging Microsoft products and technology.”
