Albany, NY – SAGE Computer Associates, Inc. was recently awarded three new Microsoft competencies for 2007. The company also re-qualified for two competencies and has been named a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner for the third year in a row.
SAGE re-qualified for the Network Infrastructure competency to enhance its ability to design, install and support Microsoft based computer networks for small and medium businesses in Tech Valley and the Information Workers Solutions Messaging and Collaboration competency to improve its development of messaging and collaboration solutions using the Microsoft Office System, Microsoft Exchange Server, Office Live Communications Server and Windows SharePoint Services.
The first of the new competencies identifies SAGE as a Microsoft Advanced Infrastructure Active Directory and Identity Management specialist qualified to deploy Microsoft identity solutions, including fully integrated directory and security services; single sign-on to multiple applications, Web sites and services; automated account provisioning and de-provisioning; and interoperability with other platforms and applications.
