Road to becoming Microsoft Gold Certified Partners for our POS product Amicus

After months and months of work, submitting Amicus for third party testing, compiling lists of customer references, conducting satisfaction surveys and generally proving our competency; Neotechnology officially became a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner today.

Gold Certified is the highest level of certification Microsoft offers partner organisations. It's not an insignificant achievement in any way, it litterally takes months of work to get over the line. Neotechnology's main vehicle into the program was our point of sale (POS) product 'Amicus' which we develop in house for Supermarkets, General Retail, Wholesale, Cafe's, Bar's, Restaurants and Fuel Outlets. Amicus had to go through a stringent certification process by third party testers (Lionbridge) to be accepted.

In addition to having a quality software product however, we also had to pass a number of customer service related tests to ensure that we were the kind of company that Microsoft would like to be associated with.

For our customers, this means that we've proven ourselves, not only as competent software developers, but also premier provider of customer support services. For those interested in what the Microsoft Partner Program is all about, please have a look at their website.

Thanks to all of the team for your hard work in achieving this goal. We will be wearing the badge with pride!
