Pinnacle Corporation, a leading supplier of automation technology to the convenience retail and petroleum industries, announced that it has again renewed its certification status in the Microsoft Partner Network, and earned the highest (Gold) level status available. This achievement demonstrates Pinnacle’s ongoing commitment and ability to meet and exceed Microsoft customers’ evolving needs in today’s dynamic business environment. To achieve this task Pinnacle completed a set of tests and qualifications to prove a sophisticated level of technology expertise, marking Pinnacle’s 12th consecutive year in earning its way into the Microsoft’s Partner Network program.
“Our continued investment in Microsoft and emerging technologies is reflected by our now 12th consecutive year of achieving the highest levels of success in the Microsoft’s Partner Network. Our partnership with Microsoft affords us an advanced look into cutting edge technologies, resources, and training not available to most technology providers, enabling Pinnacle to deliver the best solutions available to the convenience and petroleum space,” said Drew Mize, Pinnacle’s President.
Microsoft Partners receive a rich set of benefits, including access, training, and support for Microsoft platforms and tools, providing a unique and competitive advantage in the channel. The Microsoft Partner Program was originally launched in October 2003; Pinnacle has maintained its Partner certification status since 2005.
As one of the requirements to participate in the Microsoft Partner Network, Pinnacle had to declare and qualify for at least one specialized Microsoft Competency. These Competencies are designed to help differentiate a partner’s capabilities in specific Microsoft technologies, and each has a unique set of requirements and benefits formulated to accurately represent specific skills and services that partners bring to the technology industry. This year Pinnacle achieved two unique Microsoft Competencies:
Gold Application Development – recognizing expertise as a Microsoft ISV, software development, and web development capabilities.
Silver Enterprise Resource Planning – recognizing expertise in deploying Microsoft Dynamics business management solutions, with specialization in Microsoft’s Dynamics GP™ platform.
