DataMotion attains Gold Application Development competency from Microsoft

DataMotion, an experienced email encryption and health information service provider (HISP), today announced it has attained a Gold Application Development competency, demonstrating a "best-in-class" ability and commitment to meet Microsoft Corp. customers' evolving needs in today's dynamic business environment and distinguishing itself within the top 1 percent of Microsoft's partner ecosystem.

To earn a Microsoft gold competency, partners must successfully complete exams (resulting in Microsoft Certified Professionals) to prove their level of technology expertise, and then designate these certified professionals uniquely to one Microsoft competency, ensuring a certain level of staffing capacity. They also must submit customer references that demonstrate successful projects (along with implementing a yearly customer satisfaction study), meet a revenue commitment (for most gold competencies), and pass technology and/or sales assessments.

DataMotion provides secure data delivery solutions, enabling organizations to safely and easily exchange information with partners and customers in the cloud. Its easy-to-use solutions for encrypted email, file transfer, forms processing and customer contact leverage a core, secure platform for unified data delivery. All solutions utilize military grade encryption that allows information to travel across the Internet untouched and safe, even when using mobile devices. As a result, customers experience reduced risk, increased compliance, more efficient workflows and heightened governance. In the healthcare sector, DataMotion is a leading health information service provider (HISP) of Direct Secure Messaging, overcoming long-standing interoperability hurdles for the efficient and secure sharing of sensitive patient medical data. Millions of users worldwide rely on DataMotion to improve operational efficiencies and reduce costs, while mitigating security and compliance risk.

"This Microsoft Gold Application Development competency showcases DataMotion's in-depth understanding of Microsoft and its products," said Bob Janacek, CTO of DataMotion. "Our customers rely on DataMotion technology to securely exchange their sensitive data, and by working closely with Microsoft, we are able to do this in a cost effective, transparent and secure manner."

"By achieving a gold competency, partners have demonstrated the highest, most consistent capability and commitment to the latest Microsoft technology," said Phil Sorgen, corporate vice president, Worldwide Partner Group at Microsoft Corp. "These partners have a deep expertise that puts them in the top 1 percent of our partner ecosystem, and their proficiency will help customers drive innovative solutions on the latest Microsoft technology."

Earning the Application Development competency helps partners differentiate themselves as a trusted expert to their customers through development and deployment of commercial or custom applications built using core Microsoft technologies like Windows Server and Windows 8 operating systems, the Windows Azure platform, Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 development system, Microsoft BizTalk Server and emerging cloud-based and web business models. By gaining access to a comprehensive set of benefits through the Application Development competency, partners can acquire new customers and help them be more productive and profitable through deployment of business applications, advanced web portals or rich client user interfaces that run on premises or in the cloud.

The Microsoft Partner Network helps partners strengthen their capabilities to showcase leadership in the marketplace on the latest technology, to better serve customers and to easily connect with one of the most active, diverse networks in the world.
