MICROSOFT GOLD CERTIFIED PARTNER
 Strong Solutions is the first company in the metropolitan region of Santos to be awarded the highest partnership level by Microsoft International. Strong was given the title "Gold Certified Partner" by the multinational company after three steps had been crossed: team skill-making, reference acknowledgment and success cases in projects and current clients, and scores obtained through research and evaluation held with clients. "Partners with that level have the opportunity to narrow the relationship with Microsoft even more, and may be granted other benefits", says Nilson Cortez Junior, IT Manager at Strong Solutions, with great enthusiasm for such recognition.
Strong has been a Microsoft partner since 1996, and has developed software, integrated systems and graduated experts in various modules within the Microsoft Office Specialist program. In 2005, Strong was the Brazilian pioneer company to be awarded the international certification Q&C by Bureau Veritas, the largest auditing company in the world. From over 520 Microsoft partners in Brazil, Strong is one of the 35 companies that have already been given such certificate within a two-year program.
"It is hard to be approved. And after the company is approved, it is placed among a score scale from two to five stars. We have got four stars so far, and that was in our very first attempt", says Nilson, vibrating with the company recognition. "We clearly understand that loyalty from our current clients is the best way to make Strong Solutions grow", Nilson says.

 Strong Consultoria Empresarial has just been awarded another significant trophy for its work. Bureau Veritas, the largest auditing and certifying company in the world, has certified Strong with the title Q&C (Quality and Competitiveness). "The audit was requested in February of the current year. The whole process started in March and the in loco audit took place on June 8", says Nilson Cortez, IT Manager at Strong.
At the end of the auditing process, Strong was not only approved but also given the "four stars" level. "We do believe that such award increases our responsibility even more, and that also recognizes Strong as a reference in the segment", Nilson concludes.
The program Q&C is a mature branch of one of Microsoft main strategies, that is, the creation of products and services to support its partners' development within the solution-making market. Strong has been a Microsoft partner since 1996 and has focused on the development and implementation of information systems.
