FMT Consultants earns distinction through demonstrated technology success and customer commitment.

San Diego, CA, February 6th 2014 - FMT Consultants, a leading San Diego-based SharePoint consulting firm, today announced it has achieved a Silver Collaboration and Content competency, demonstrating its ability to meet Microsoft Corp. customers’ evolving needs in today’s dynamic business environment.

To earn a Microsoft silver competency, partners must successfully demonstrate expertise through rigorous exams, culminating in Microsoft certifications. And to ensure the highest quality of services, Microsoft requires customer references for successful implementation and customer satisfaction.

Founded in 1995, FMT leverages the power of a broad array of software applications including Microsoft SharePoint, Office 365, Microsoft Dynamics CRM and Microsoft Dynamics GP to provide innovative technology solutions that help its clients improve and grow their businesses. The Microsoft Silver Collaboration and Content Competency comes as a result of FMT’s commitment to outstanding service delivery and high levels of client satisfaction pertaining to the company’s Microsoft SharePoint offerings. With the latest Microsoft Competency addition, FMT now holds a Microsoft Gold Enterprise Resource Planning Competency, a Microsoft Silver Customer Relationship Management Competency and a Microsoft Silver Collaboration and Content Competency. In addition, FMT has earned Microsoft’s Cloud Accelerate badge for its cloud-based offerings and expertise.

With the Microsoft Silver Collaboration and Content Competency FMT is now a qualified partner in the SharePoint Deployment Planning Services program which allows Microsoft customers to use their Software Assurance Benefits to cover the costs of working with a qualified Microsoft SharePoint Partner.

“At FMT we constantly strive to accelerate our customers’ success by serving as technology advisors for their business demands and technology needs,” says David Kuhns, SharePoint Practice Manager at FMT and continues “we’re delighted to have earned the Microsoft Silver Collaboration and Content Competency as it demonstrates our high levels of customer service and expertise in Microsoft SharePoint and related Microsoft products.”

“By achieving a silver competency, organizations have proven their expertise in specific technology areas, placing them among the top 5 percent of Microsoft partners worldwide,” said Phil Sorgen, corporate vice president, Worldwide Partner Group at Microsoft Corp. “When customers look for an IT partner to meet their business challenges, choosing a company that has attained Microsoft competencies is a smart move. These are highly qualified professionals with access to Microsoft technical support and product teams.”

Attaining the Microsoft Silver Collaboration and Content competency demonstrates partner expertise in offering Microsoft SharePoint technology based solutions to customers that meet organizational collaboration and content needs, help customers maximize efficiencies and take advantage of opportunities, such as business value consulting, change management, architectural design, digital asset management, and Web design and development, all of which can help develop a more profitable business. The Microsoft Collaboration and Content competency can help partners take advantage of the growing services opportunity around SharePoint by demonstrating your ability to offer solutions that connect teams, improve access to information, and increase productivity.

The Microsoft Partner Network helps partners strengthen their capabilities to showcase leadership in the marketplace on the latest technology, to better serve customers and to easily connect with one of the most active, diverse networks in the world.
