Motion Strikes Gold!

Aberdeen based Software Development Company Motion Software has been awarded Gold Certified Partner Status by Microsoft. Gold Certified Partners are the top level of Microsoft solutions partners who have demonstrated innovative implementation and deployment of Microsoft technologies.

In addition to this latest achievement, Motion Software is currently experiencing significant growth due to several new lucrative contract wins across the globe. They have recently appointed two new members of staff and moved to new offices in Grandholm, Aberdeen.

Gold Certified Partners represents the highest level of competence and expertise with Microsoft technologies. The process involves a series of training and exams which staff must pass to achieve the Certified Status in their specific competencies. These competencies achieved by Motion include:

• Mobility Solutions – Where the aim is to help customers access information on the go and increase their productivity and responsiveness while reducing costs.
• Custom Development Solutions - The Custom Development Solutions competency is designed for partners who provide unique customer solutions through software development, application quality assurance (testing) and application architecture.
• ISV Software Solutions for the aspire range of operations software covering Asset and Rental Management, and Inspection and Testing solutions.

Each Microsoft Certified Partner must employ a number of Microsoft Certified Professionals (MCPs) who have a demonstrated level of technical expertise and the proven ability to deliver solutions featuring Microsoft products. The process also requires the company to achieve certain qualifying ‘points’ set by Microsoft and includes a review of staff skill sets, procedures and client testimonials.

As a Microsoft Gold Certified Partners (Microsoft highest level) this now provides exclusive benefits to both Motion Software and their clients. They are now officially acknowledged by Microsoft as having demonstrated innovative implementation and deployment of Microsoft technologies.

At this elevated level, Motion will have the opportunity to build an even closer working relationship with Microsoft, and is guaranteed various top-level benefits such as access to emerging technologies. In turn, customers will benefit from integration of the latest Microsoft products.

Established seven years ago, Motion Software is on target for an impressive year of results. Already 40% up on last year’s turnover, and with several recent contract wins in Aberdeen, Dubai, Norway and Perth, Australia, worth in excess of £150,000. Motion Software is on track to exceed initial targets for the year. As a result, Motion Software has recently taken on not one but two Software Application Developers. Between them, Judy Cousins and Paul Gill have significant experience in deploying enterprise applications and will bring much to both the team and clients at Motion Software.

Due to the ongoing increase in business and recent additions to the team, Motion Software have recently moved from their City Centre offices of Union Terrace to a new extensive business unit in the growing commercial centre at Grandholm Mill, Aberdeen.
