Tectura announced today that it has achieved the Certified for Microsoft Dynamics standard for its Tectura® Process Manufacturing solution.

The recently launched Certified for Microsoft Dynamics program aims to extend the Microsoft Dynamics ecosystem by building a strong portfolio of Certified for Microsoft Dynamics software solutions. Since early 2007, Tectura has participated in a pilot of this program, providing Microsoft with ongoing feedback relating to the overall certification process. 

The new Certified for Microsoft Dynamics software solution test verifies compatibility of the partner’s software solution with the Microsoft Dynamics platform upon which it runs and that is supported by processes and documentation. In addition, Certified for Microsoft Dynamics solutions require that at least 10 clients have deployed the same version level of the software solution and are willing to recommend it.

Tectura is pleased to announce that they have recently been named to the Microsoft Dynamics™ Inner Circle, an accomplishment earned by firms whose achievement ranks them at the top of the Microsoft Dynamics global network.

Membership in this elite group is granted to outstanding partners whose deep commitment to clients is reflected in their ongoing dedication to achieving high levels of customer satisfaction, aggressive pursuit of product and technology advancement, and impressive sales performance.

In recognition of exceptional service and sales performance, Tectura will be rewarded with an opportunity to attend an executive retreat, increased interaction with Microsoft Business Solutions executives, and industry recognition for their hard work and dedication to the Microsoft Business Solutions mission.  Read more
