Over the last three decades, technology has
transformed the way people work, play, and
communicate. Today, computer users access information
and people from around the world in an instant.
Groundbreaking technologies have opened the door to
innovations in every field of human endeavor,
delivering new opportunity, convenience, and value to
their lives.
Since its founding in
1975, Microsoft has been a leader in this
transformation. As a reflection of that role—and to
help them focus on the opportunities that lie ahead—
they have established and embraced a new corporate
mission.
 Microsoft's
mission: To enable people and businesses throughout
the world to realize their full potential.
Heartland Technology Solutions has earned the
prestigious authorization as a Microsoft®
Gold Certified Partner for Security, which means
that they have demonstrated superior levels of
successful implementations, capabilities and
certification. Microsoft Gold Certified Partners are
required to meet rigorous requirements for
certification and expertise. Heartland Technology
Solutions has achieved the status of Gold Certified
Partner for Security by demonstrating increased levels
of developer certification, deep real-world
experience, and by providing completed customer
reference projects that were independently verified by
Microsoft.
Through engagement with Microsoft,
Microsoft Gold Certified Partners have in-depth access
to a variety of exclusive resources and early product
information. Resources include priority access to a
support team of Microsoft certified systems engineers,
non-disclosure evaluation of new products and
technologies, as well as planning tools and events to
keep up to speed on the latest Microsoft product
developments and future direction.
Heartland Technology Solutions employs
a dozen Microsoft Certified Professionals (MCPs);
individuals who have passed certification exams
designed to validate their mastery using Microsoft
tools and technologies. A recent study of Microsoft
Certified Systems Engineers (MCSEs) and their
supervisors by Jack McKillip, Ph.D. at Southern
Illinois University, rated MCPs as highly effective
workers on the job and IT supervisors rated MCSEs as
more competent on all global dimensions as compared to
non-certified systems engineers. HTS employs both MCPs
and MCSEs on it team.
This year Microsoft will continue to
invest in certification and enhanced resources and
support for Microsoft Gold Certified Partners as part
of our ongoing commitment to provide customers with
choice and best of breed product solutions via
Microsoft Gold Certified Partner companies such as
Heartland Technology Solutions. |
