Press Release – 5th February 2007
Microsoft endorse Green 4 Solutions with Gold Partner Status

2006 was a hectic year for Green 4. As a start up ISV, they sold 20 new Dynamics CRM systems in the first 11 months of operation. Their customer portfolio includes a number of football and rugby league clubs in the UK and overseas, multiple racecourses and a ski resort. In the UK, their 4 Communication ‘add-on’ to Microsoft Dynamics CRM has also already leveraged Dynamics CRM sales and upgrades through Dynamics CRM Resellers.

One of Green 4’s objectives in the first year of operation was to achieve Gold Partner status by the end of their first year, and they are delighted to announce that they have reached this milestone. Gold Certified Partners represent the highest level of competency and expertise with Microsoft technologies and is the most difficult accreditation to attain. Green 4 had to pass a series of examinations, submit a number of customer references to be verified by Microsoft and also put their solution through rigorous Microsoft testing. In doing so they have achieved the ISV (Independent Software Vendor) competency and MBS (Microsoft Business Solutions) competency.

Peter Oliver, Director at Green 4 comments, "We are extremely pleased to have attained Gold Certified status in the Microsoft Partner Program. This allows us to clearly promote our expertise and relationship with Microsoft to our customers and partners. The benefits provided through our Gold Certified status will allow us to continue to enhance the offerings that we provide for customers."

"We are delighted to have Green 4 on board as one of our Dynamics CRM partners." David Brown, CRM Manager at Microsoft adds. "It’s a fantastic achievement after just 12 months of business. The accreditation not only reflects Green 4’s commitment to Microsoft and our solutions but the high levels of customer service and implementation capabilities they offer to their customers. What is even more important from Microsoft’s perspective is that they have achieved this in a single vertical market, a strategy that we urge other partners to follow. This endorsement can only enhance their reputation in the market."
