EDGAR® Online, Inc. (NASDAQ: EDGR), a premier provider of
fundamental financial data, analytics and disclosure management
services, today announced it has attained a Gold Independent
Software Vendor (ISV)/Software competency, demonstrating a
“best-in-class” ability and commitment to meet Microsoft Corp.
customers’ evolving needs in today’s dynamic business environment
and distinguishing itself within the top 1 percent of Microsoft’s
partner ecosystem.
To earn a 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
(along with implementing a yearly customer satisfaction study),
meet a revenue commitment (for most gold competencies), and pass
technology and/or sales assessments.
EDGAR Online assists businesses and institutional investors with
financial reporting and data analysis through a variety of analytic
tools and disclosure management solutions that leverage the XBRL
data public companies must submit to the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). Executives drive investor relations activities
and improve enterprise risk management and overall corporate
governance by analyzing this data through Microsoft Excel plug-ins.
EDGAR Online ensures these analytical tools and data are fully
compatible with cloud solutions, including Microsoft Azure,
allowing enterprises to easily access and use the SEC-reported data
for value-based decision-making across all departments.
“Data is at the center of every business and investment
decision. EDGAR Online’s solutions assist enterprises and
institutional investors in creating, collecting and consuming this
information to solve business problems, make better decisions and
improve overall governance, risk and compliance,” said Greg Carter,
chief technology officer of EDGAR Online. “The Gold Certified
Partner status in the Microsoft Partner Program underscores our
commitment and expertise as the hub of the business information
value chain.”
“By achieving a gold competency, partners have demonstrated the
highest, most consistent capability and commitment to the latest
Microsoft technology,” said Jon Roskill, corporate vice president,
Worldwide Partner Group at Microsoft Corp. “These partners have a
deep expertise that puts them in the top 1 percent of our partner
ecosystem, and their proficiency will help customers drive
innovative solutions on the latest Microsoft technology.”
Attaining the Microsoft ISV/Software competency demonstrates
partner expertise in developing applications based on Microsoft
solutions. Equipped with exclusive training, the latest software,
and support on Microsoft SQL Server, Windows Server, Windows 7 and
Microsoft cloud services, these partners are equipped to develop
innovative solutions to meet their customers’ needs.
The Microsoft Partner Network helps partners strengthen their
capabilities to showcase leadership in the marketplace on the
latest technology, to better serve customers and, with 640,000
Microsoft partners in their ecosystem, to easily connect with one
of the most active, diverse networks in the world.
