Aspire HR Named Microsoft Certified Partner

Dallas, TX (March 1, 2008) – Microsoft has awarded Aspire HR the Certified Partner status, it was announced today.

Microsoft Certified Partners are independent companies that can provide their clients with the highest levels of technical expertise, strategic thinking, and IT best practices. The companies that achieve this unique recognition encompass a broad range of expertise and industry affiliations and have experience in networking, e-commerce, business intelligence, and other leading edge disciplines.

“In meeting the exacting standards necessary for achieving this designation from Microsoft, Aspire HR has demonstrated its dedication to providing our customers with top quality products and services and a commitment to excellence,” said Joseph Hillesheim, Founding Partner of Aspire HR.

There are a variety of criteria that a company must meet in order to earn the Microsoft Certified Partner designation, according to Gabor Pulay, Partner, Development Services.

“Aspire HR recognized that SAP implementations need to fit into a larger IT infrastructure which is dominantly Microsoft-based. Data migrations, E-Recruiting, ESS, MSS, Duet and Outlook Integration are just a few areas where it is evident that an implementation partner cannot provide a true overall implementation strategy without understanding the technologies involved, so we decided to pursue certification,” said Pulay. “As part of the process, Microsoft certified our data migration solution, HR Data Exchange, as it has satisfied the high and demanding requirements of Microsoft Platform Testing. We are also very pleased that so many of our customers have promptly responded to Microsoft with positive references. They also played a big role in the certification.”

“We are enthusiastic about accomplishing this recognition from Microsoft,” added Hillesheim. “This designation tells our customers that we can offer a real world perspective to their IT strategies coupled with the support of an industry leader like Microsoft.”
