“CompuCom supports more than five million Microsoft devices
every day. We believe that, as a Leader in Gartner's 2018 Magic
Quadrant for Managed Workplace Services, North America, CompuCom
offers best-of-breed Microsoft solutions and managed services, as
well as full lifecycle management for our clients’ enterprise
infrastructures,” noted CompuCom Chief Product Officer Ken
Jackowitz. “Our collaboration with Microsoft enables us to deliver
world-class managed services that give our clients a distinct
competitive advantage. We’re proud of our track record of
certifications – which, overall, totals more than 100,000 – as well
as our expertise with Microsoft products.”
CompuCom also received the highest score for the End-User Device
Use Case in Gartner’s 2018 research note, “Critical Capabilities
for Managed Workplace Services, North America,” for the second
consecutive year.
As a Microsoft Partner for more than 13 years, CompuCom
currently has 300+ Microsoft Certified Professionals (MCPs). The
company holds a total of 10 Microsoft competencies, including
Cloud Service Provider.
To earn a Microsoft Gold competency, partners must successfully
complete exams to prove their level of technology expertise
(resulting in MCPs), 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, meet a performance
commitment (for most Gold competencies, revenue and/or
consumption/usage), and pass technology and/or sales assessments.
“Microsoft competencies are significant achievements by an
organization, and testaments to a provider’s capabilities – treat
them as your medals,” said Microsoft Provider Network Concierge
Kevin Carlo Diga.
The Microsoft Partner Network helps partners strengthen their
capabilities to showcase leadership in the marketplace on the
latest technology, to better serve clients and to easily connect
with one of the most active, diverse networks in the world. For
