Business Intelligence
The Microsoft Partner Network Business Intelligence Competency is designed for partners who can demonstrate to customers their ability to deliver solutions that leverage familiar tools to provide insight to everyone within an organization – at a lower total cost of ownership.  Because customers are increasingly asking to do more with less, partners with the Business Intelligence Competency can demonstrate how accurate business intelligence can provide customers with a competitive advantage and leverage their existing investments in technology. 

"Our industry partners allow us to deliver high-quality solutions and applications to our customers. And we're always looking at ways to improve our relationships," said Paul Flessner, senior vice president of the Server Applications at Microsoft Corp. "Solutions competencies enable Microsoft to provide resources and training to partners seeking to meet, and even surpass, customer needs. The competencies also provide industry partners with a way to showcase their expertise to customers that depend on them for services, such as building critical infrastructure including storage and hosting solutions."
