DataLan Corporation has been a Microsoft Certified Partner since the start of the Microsoft Partner program in 1994 and a Gold Certified Partner since the inception of that designation in 2000. Gold Certified Partners represent the highest level of competence and expertise with Microsoft technologies, and have the closest working relationship with Microsoft. The Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Program provides a way for customers to identify companies that have proven their commitment and expertise in one or more specialized areas, or competencies, when delivering Microsoft technologies. Microsoft Gold Certified Partners need to meet a higher set of criteria for each category, including enhanced certification and a portfolio of real-world customer references, and are thus identified as the most skilled partners in specific solution areas. DataLan has also achieved Managed Partner Status – a designation given to Microsoft Partners chosen for structured partner management – on a local, regional, and national level.
