The Custom Development Solutions competency is designed for technology partners who specialize in providing custom-built solutions for clients that require value-added capabilities to optimize their business opportunities. Additional competency assets will support partners in demand generation, technical and sales learning opportunities, and early adopter initiatives across Microsoft developer technologies, with an emphasis on Microsoft Visual Studio 2005/2008.

Within this competency, BTEK has attained these specializations:

• Smart Client Development focuses on delivering custom-developed solutions accessed through a client like Visual Studio, Visual Studio Tools for Office, and Microsoft Office.
• Web Development focuses on delivering Web-enabled deployment solutions required in organizations that wish to operate and transact through the Internet using Visual Studio, ASP.NET, IIS, Windows Server, and SQL Server.

Microsoft awards the Networking Infrastructure Solutions Competency to its technology partners who have proven their proficiency in implementing solutions based on Microsoft Windows Server 2000/2003/2008, Microsoft Small Business Server (SBS) 2000/2003/2008, or Windows Essential Business Server (EBS) 2008.

As a Gold Certified Partner, BTEK has proven competency in designing infrastructure solutions for businesses that include Windows Server Solutions based on these operating systems. These implementations may include solutions that connect Windows-based servers, PC locations, and the Internet; installing a server farm; or building a stand-alone server solution that includes file/print capabilities.

Today, servers running Microsoft BizTalk Server and Microsoft Host Integration Server on Windows Server 2003 form the backbone of a growing number of integration and business process solutions. Delivering the high levels of reliability and availability required of business-to-business websites requires not only great technology but also the competency to plan, deploy, support, and migrate those solutions.

Microsoft solutions partners have capitalized on this opportunity to help organizations build integrated, interoperable, modularized, extensible, and secure e-business solutions that connect information, systems, people, and processes.
