Creative Technology Solutions Ltd., a leading provider of IT services and solutions announced it has attained a gold data platform, analytics, app development and DevOps competency, demonstrating a “best-in-class” ability and commitment to meet Microsoft Corp. customers’ evolving needs in today’s mobile-first, cloud-first world, and distinguishing itself within Microsoft’s partner ecosystem.

To gain Microsoft gold competency, partners must successfully complete exams (resulting in Microsoft Certified Professionals) to prove their level of technology expertise, and then designate these certified professionals uniquely to one Microsoft competency, ensuring a certain level of staffing capacity. They also must submit customer references that demonstrate successful projects, meet a performance (revenue and or consumption/usage) commitment (for most gold competencies), and pass technology and/or sales assessments. 

Creative has assisted numerous local and international clients scale cloud solutions seamlessly and in harmony with their on-premises IT infrastructure and manage a smooth transition to Microsoft Azure, modernising and integrating applications and making better use of their data.

Creative Head of Cloud Services Duminda Prasad said: “We have been a Microsoft Partner since 2007, and a Microsoft gold competency represents a further deepening of our cooperation. Over the years we have built an extremely capable and experienced team providing services to Microsoft customers, many of them Fortune 500 companies. A Microsoft gold competency further strengthens our position as a Data Platform and Application modernisation partner. We look forward to continuing to offer our expertise both locally and Globally.”
