Microsoft Gold Certified Partners receive access to resources such as: priority access to a support team of Microsoft certified systems engineers, non-disclosure evaluation of new products and technologies, as well as planning tools, giving Cirrus Software a competitive advantage.

One of the core requirements for attaining the Gold Certified Partner status was for Cirrus Software to supply the CAS 6 Platform to Microsoft for testing. 
Microsoft were very impressed by the CAS 6 Platform and Cirrus Software’s capability to demonstrate increased levels of developer certification (MCP), deep real-world experience, and by providing completed customer reference projects that were independently verified by Microsoft.

We were awarded the status of Microsoft Gold Certified Partners with Dual Competency in Independent Software Vendor (ISV)/Software Solutions and Data Management Solutions.

Microsoft Competencies are designed to help differentiate a partner’s capabilities with specific Microsoft technologies to customers looking for a particular type of solution.

Cirrus Software employs Microsoft Certified Professionals (MCPs); individuals who have passed certification exams designed to validate their mastery using Microsoft tools and technologies, it is these skills that also contribute to the Gold Certified Partner status.
