WRQ Announces Its Membership In The Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Program
Announcement posted by WRQ Software 26 Sep 2002
Elevated Status Recognizes WRQ Expertise and Commitment in Delivering Microsoft Technologies
WRQ, Inc. today announced it is a new member in the Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Program. Backed by 22 years of expertise, WRQ provides customers worldwide with host access and integration solutions that enable them to connect to and integrate with mission-critical data and applications on host systems.
WRQ has been named a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner for Software Products due to its commitment to the Microsoft platform and its proven track record of developing robust and reliable software products. Membership in the Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Program will provide WRQ with resources it needs to continue to develop innovative software built on the Microsoft platform and maintain customer confidence that WRQ products are compatible with new Microsoft technologies.
Migrating to a new operating system affects every piece of software a company depends on, including the software that connects PCs to the important data and applications on host systems. WRQ recognized early on the importance of ensuring WRQ Reflection compatibility with Windows 2000. Incorporating support for new Windows 2000 features would allow IT managers to continue to connect to their host applications, while using the features of the new platform to reduce overall installation, deployment and management costs. In 2000, WRQ Reflection solutions were the first terminal emulation and PC X server products to earn the Certified for Windows 2000 logo through VeriTest, the testing division of Lionbridge Technologies (Nasdaq: LIOX). In 2001, WRQ was among the first in its category to earn the Microsoft Designed for XP logo.
WRQ is pleased with our new status as Microsoft Gold Certified Partner for Software Products because it demonstrates our knowledge and capabilities in developing solutions based on Microsoft platforms and underscores our focus on customer needs, said Randy Robinson, vice president and manager of the Reflection Business Unit at WRQ.
By working with VeriTest on Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional certification, WRQ has assured their customers that Reflection 10.0 provides the highest levels of reliability and compatibility in the Windows 2000 desktop environment, said
Ed Adams, vice president, VeriTest. The rigorous Microsoft Windows certification process, offered exclusively at VeriTest, allows companies that purchase WRQ Reflection 10.0 to benefit from reduced support costs, leading to lower total cost of ownership.
The Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Program provides a way for customers to identify companies that have proven their commitment and expertise in one or more specialized areas when delivering Microsoft technologies. Microsoft Certified Partners need to meet a higher set of criteria for each category, including enhanced certification and a portfolio of real-world customer references, and are thus identified as the most skilled partners in specific solution areas.
Customers conducting company-wide migrations need to quickly ascertain which software alternatives are proven to have full Windows integration and testing, said Alison Watson, vice president of the Partner Programs Group at Microsoft. They need to be assured that their software provider has a policy of this integration for smoother migrations and feature availability. With commitments to the Microsoft Windows and .NET platforms, WRQ has clearly demonstrated that WRQ Reflection maximizes the functionality and reliability of Windows 2000. Microsoft is pleased to have WRQ as a Gold Certified Partner for Software Products.
