Winxnet Employee Achieves Elite Microsoft SharePoint Status

 

MAINE, July 18, 2011 — Winxnet, a leading provider of consulting, application development, and network services proudly announces its senior project manager, Amanda Downing, has attained the Microsoft Partner Network Digital Marketing specialization. This accomplishment makes Mrs. Downing one of only three members in the New England area of the Microsoft Virtual Technology Specialist Program (VTSP), a select group chosen from the elite in Microsoft’s partner community, whose focus is to enhance Microsoft’s Technology Specialist team.   This team is called upon by Microsoft directly to support their SharePoint efforts in the region.

 

Mrs. Downing is now enabled to showcase her expertise in developing rich Internet solutions on Microsoft SharePoint 2010 for Internet Sites, Microsoft FAST Search Server technology, and the Microsoft Silverlight browser plug-in. By attaining a Microsoft Partner Network specialization, Winxnet receives the opportunity to take advantage of Microsoft benefits specifically tailored to Digital Marketing. These benefits include internal-use rights for software, Partner Advisory Hours that can be used for Technical Services from Microsoft consultants, and Technical Incident Support for critical and noncritical issues.

 

Mrs. Downing’s accomplishment marks another platform in which Winxnet has gained expertise. Attaining this specialization helps customers by offering solutions that are highly functional, scalable, flexible, and secure through a unified platform for intranet, extranet, and Internet sites. Says Jason Lenardson, Winxnet COO: “Winxnet has been working with SharePoint for over 10 years, and this program from Microsoft acknowledges and expands that expertise.  It provides our customers with the access to Microsoft resources and acknowledged expertise that no other team in Maine and few in New England can claim.  Microsoft may sell the software, but they rely on companies like Winxnet to ensure successful implementations and programs like the VTSP allow them to point to preferred partners that they know have the expertise and track record to make it happen.”
