New Microsoft Partner Competency is coming for custom development shops!
Tuesday, September 20, 2005 12:54 AM

Many companies are deeply embedded in pure Microsoft development (such as thycotic ) but do not necessarily use any of the Microsoft server products (MS CMS, BizTalk, SharePoint) in their solutions.
