December 12th, 2005 LIVERMORE, CA – LANLOGIC announced today it has achieved the second milestone in Microsoft’s new Partner Program. This accomplishment consists of earning the coveted Advanced Infrastructure Solutions Competency. The Advanced Infrastructure Solutions Competency is designed for partners with proven expertise in designing and/or implementing complex infrastructure solutions such as Active Directory®-based and Microsoft Integration Server design and deployment solutions, or Microsoft Exchange Server migration or deployment solutions. Because customers are increasingly asking to do more with less, partners with the Advanced Infrastructure Solutions Competency can identify their unique skill in helping customers access management solutions, improving operational efficiency and reducing security risks.

The Microsoft Advanced Infrastructure Solutions Competency is sub-divided into several specializations. The specialization Lanlogic has earned is titled Active Directory and Identity Management. This competency specialization requires Lanlogic to have employed two or more Microsoft Certified Professionals who have achieved an advanced certification, such as a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, and have passed a rigorous technical proficiency exam.

In addition, each competency award also requires submission and confirmation of 3 customer references featuring Active Directory design and deployment or Microsoft Identity Integration Server implementation.

“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 Platform Division at Microsoft. “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 who depend on them for services, such as building their critical infrastructure needs such as storage and hosting solutions.”

“We are extremely pleased to have earned the Advanced Network Infrastructure Solutions Competency in the Microsoft Partner Program. The competency allows us to take the second step in demonstrating our expertise and relationship with Microsoft to our customers,” said Joe Foos, Director of Sales & Marketing. “Proving our specialization in Active Directory and Identity Management demonstrates our commitment to ongoing excellence and expectations with our team of senior network engineers. The benefits provided through this competency award will allow us to continue to enhance the offerings that we provide for customers.”
