The research highlights the most capable Microsoft Dynamics ERP consultants catering to the mid-market.

 

WASHINGTON, March 13, 2013 — Today SourcingLine published the first edition of their Microsoft Dynamics ERP Consultants Leaders Matrix. The Leaders Matrix analyzes each firm’s focus in Microsoft Dynamics against their ability to deliver ERP solutions to their clients. This publication follows SourcingLine’s existing research on enterprise based web and mobile developers, which has been called the most comprehensive available online.

 

The Microsoft Dynamics ERP Consultants Leaders Matrix focuses on firms that are able to apply Microsoft Dynamics GP, AX, and NAV to improve the operational efficiency of organizations within a wide range of industries. The top consultants were selected based on over a dozen quantitative and qualitative factors including company experience, breadth of knowledge, client references, Microsoft Certifications, industry recognition, and marketing presence.

 

Out of the hundreds of firms that are Certified Microsoft Dynamics ERP Partners, only 6 firms were selected for the Leaders Matrix. The firms included are: BroadPoint Technologies, Technology Management Concepts, ACE Microtechnology, Zensar Technologies, IndustryBuilt Software, and Turnkey Technologies.

 

“For a company to be competitive, they must be able to capture and organize data from across departments to create actionable knowledge in real-time,” stated Sam Pettee, Senior Analyst at SourcingLine. “The consultants included in our Leaders Matrix consistently apply ERP solutions to help complex organizations remain competitive.”

 

SourcingLine has also published a comprehensive directory of Microsoft Dynamics ERP consultants including additional firms that were not included in the Leaders Matrix.

 

SourcingLine’s effort to identify the top Microsoft Dynamics ERP consultants will be ongoing and they encourage firms with a proven record to apply to participate in updates to their research.

ACE Microtechnology Achieves Microsoft’s Redefined More Stringent Gold Enterprise Resource Planning Competency

January 1, 2012
Atlanta, GA – ACE Microtechnology Inc. a premier provider of enterprise wide software solutions for Microsoft Dynamics GP and CRM, has been awarded a Gold Enterprise Resource Planning Competency and Silver Customer Relationship Management Competencies by the Microsoft Partner Network. The redefined Gold and Silver Competencies represent Microsoft’s “Best in Class” and are a great achievement for ACE Microtechnology. Microsoft’s recent addition of the Silver competency level has significantly raised the standards for the Gold competency, making it more specific and difficult to attain. The Gold Competency is given to partners that “demonstrate the highest, most consistent capability and commitment within a targeted Microsoft Business Solution area.” The certifications acknowledge ACE Microtechnology’ expertise as a Value Added Reseller with the ability to implement and develop fully-integrated Microsoft Dynamics GP and CRM solutions that provides value to customers.

ACE Microtechnology CEO and President Susan Looby said of the achievement: “We are ecstatic to have met the higher requirements and to be a part of the 1% of partners that have achieved the goals for the newly created Gold Enterprise Resource Planning Competency and Silver Customer Relationship Management. The standards for qualification were raised significantly this past year and we are pleased to have achieved this level of certification. This is a win/win for our clients as our team has passed all certification exams at all levels in our organization from sales to consulting.”

ACE Microtechnology Software has been a “Gold Certified Partner” of the Microsoft Partner Program for the past eight years. During the past year though, the program made several changes with a new name, The Microsoft Partner Network, and a revamped competency structure. The new competency structure now includes a Silver Certification level, raising the bar for the now harder to reach Gold Certification Level. The competencies are spread among six categories including: Application Platform, Business Productivity, Core Infrastructure, Customer Relationship Management and Enterprise Resource Planning, Cross Platform Solutions, and Small and Medium Business Customers. The changes will help partners showcase their expertise and differentiate themselves from their competition. In order to facilitate this, the new competency requirements now provide greater differentiation with the added Silver level, making Gold Certification higher and more challenging to achieve.

Similarly to before, companies must pass technical exams and business assessments based on the latest Microsoft technologies in order to receive certification. With the addition of the new Silver certification level the requirements for the Gold certification level have increased. In receiving the Gold Certification level the requirements that ACE Microtechnology has met include:

  • Employing with at least six Microsoft Certified Professionals with credentials not assigned to any other gold competency
  • Employing at least two persons who has passed an Implementation Methodology Assessment
  • Employing Sales and Pre-sales specialists that passed all qualifying exams.
  • Providing at least five verifiable customer references that feature the implementation, deployment, customization, or maintenance of a Microsoft Dynamics ERP or CRM solution
  • Meeting a minimum revenue/seat requirement.

ACE Holiday Fund Raiser

slooby9 Uncategorized

ACE Team is helping our client American Superba by paying tribute to Darin McClure and donating to Stephanie Harrell’s family this year for the Holiday Season!
2011 has added some unforeseen stress for this client and ACE would like to assist in some small way to make their holiday season more joyous!
 
 
Background:
Darin McClure, President of American Superba of Dalton, Georgia, departed this life at age 45, September 26, 2011 in Barcelona, Spain of a heart attack while on a business trip. Darin was born April 24, 1966 in Dalton, Georgia, a son of the late Marvin Lee and Pearlene Southerland McClure. He is survived by his loving wife of twenty-two years, Lisa Jones McClure; son, Landon McClure; daughter, Ali McClure all of Chatsworth, GA.

 
 
 
 
 
And if that wasn’t enough one of their Key Employees Stephanie Harrell’s son Brock, age 8 was diagnosed with a rare disease *aplastic anemia (AA) and **paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) in early September, 2011.
They are looking at many options for Brock but so far a bone marrow transplant match has not been found. You can get the backstory and keep up with Brock’s journey at www.caringbridge.org/visit/brockharrell
 
 
 
The ACE team is doing a fund raiser for the next six weeks in lieu of “Client Gift Baskets” to support the Harrell children during a very tough holiday season.
 
For every “Like” on Brock or Darins’ picture, ACE will contribute $1 towards gift certificates for the children of the Harrell family. We will up the donation once we hit 250 “Likes” to $2 per like. Please take a moment to keep these two families in your thoughts and prayers and click on the “Like” button every time you do.
 
As President of ACE, I want to thank all of you for your support throughout 2011 and wish all of you a prosperous, happy and healthy 2012!
 
Sincerely,
Susan Looby, President, ACE Microtechnology
 
*Aplastic anemia is a rare, non-contagious and often life-threatening disorder that results from the unexplained failure of the bone marrow to produce red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. A decrease in the production of blood cells means that patients are more susceptible to bleeding, fatigue and infections.
Incidence
Aplastic anemia affects two to six people per million worldwide. The disease is more prevalent in Asia than in the Western world. Most cases occur in older adults, but a significant number of children are affected.

**Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), an acquired hematologic disorder characterized by intravascular hemolysis, nocturnal hemoglobinuria, thrombotic events, serious infections, and bone marrow failure, is very rare in children. PNH is caused by a somatic mutation of the phosphatidylinositol glycan (GPI) complementation class A (PIGA) gene, followed by a survival advantage of the PNH clone, which results in a deficiency of GPI-anchored proteins on hematopoietic cells. Currently, immunophenotypic GPI-linked anchor protein analysis has replaced the acid Ham and sucrose lysis test, as it provides a reliable diagnostic tool for this disease. The presence of PNH clones should be considered in every child with an acquired bone marrow failure syndrome, for example (hypoplastic) myelodysplastic syndrome and aplastic anemia, and/or unexpected serious thrombosis. Treatment of PNH in children is dependent on the clinical presentation. In cases of severe bone marrow failure, stem cell transplantation should be seriously considered as a therapeutic option even if no matched sibling donor is available. This article reviews the reported cases of PNH in children using the recently published guidelines for classification, diagnostics, and treatment.
