Rightpoint, a Microsoft solutions provider, announced today that it has earned two new competencies from Microsoft - Information Worker and Business Intelligence. With a unique set of requirements and benefits for each, earning these competencies differentiates Rightpoint's capabilities for clients that require complex business solutions.

The Microsoft Information Worker solution set centers on collaboration, portals, enterprise search, content management, business processes/forms and business intelligence. These tools assist employees to work together by sharing information, documents and team workspaces in a centralized location. The Microsoft Business Intelligence competency concentrates on helping customers leverage the data they're already collecting to build more-effective business strategies.

To earn these Microsoft competencies, Rightpoint completed a comprehensive certification process, which included passing several Microsoft developer exams. In addition, Rightpoint demonstrated proficiency in designing, deploying, and customizing solutions using these specialized Microsoft technologies.

"The addition of Business Intelligence and Information Worker to our growing list of Microsoft competencies is a great testament to the high standards that we hold ourselves to in providing solutions and services to our clients every day," said Brad Schneider, Director at Rightpoint. "In the ever evolving world of IT services, there is never an endpoint when it comes to skill development. That is why we are committed to learning the latest techniques and earning the certifications that will always keep us ahead of the curve."
