company awarded world-class accreditation |

Good news for small businesses based
in Hertfordshire - Minerva Computer Services in Potters Bar
has recently been awarded Microsoft Gold Certified Partner
status in three competencies within the worldwide Microsoft
Partner Program. Minerva is also accredited as an MS Small
Business Specialist, providing Herts-based SMEs with unbeatable
support with their IT infrastructure, applications and data
mining requirements.

| |
| "Trust
in expert advisers for long-term strategic technology plans." |
| |
|
John Chadwick, Minerva's MD and a
well-known figure in the Herts business world, commented that
"Companies can't go on cutting costs in order to remain
competitive - they have to come up with innovative solutions
to speed up their business processes as well. They're looking
for a company like Minerva to bridge the gap between their
business demands and techonology capabilities. They need to
trust in expert advisers for their long-term strategic technology
plans.

Getting
better value from MS Office
|
| |
|
A good understanding of issues affecting
Herts businesses was one of the key reasons that Minerva sought
to achieve Gold Partner status in Informatioon Worker Productivity
Solutions. This specialism enables Minerva to achieve better
value for their clients from their clients' existing Microsoft
packages through improved integration of functions such as
Outlook, Word, Powerpoint, and Excel, making end users more
productive.

Better
management of data to
speed up customer orders
|
| |
|
The second competence of which Minerva
was awarded Gold Partner Status was for Data Management Solutions.
Steve Hutchins, Minerva's Sales Director, said that "One
client, an internet-based telesales company has telesales
operatives who can now view their daily call-sheets and client's
order history and produce invoices or credit notes on screen,
supported by a Microsoft SQL server. It's enabled huge amounts
of data to be instantly accessible in an easy-to-use format.
The installation has reduced overheads, cut down processing
time and made the operatives' job a lot easier."

World
class expertise and experience
|
| |
|
Dave Rendall, Minerva's Technical
Manager, commented, "We also had to demonstrate world-class
expertise and experience of our third competence, Networking
Infrastructure Solutions. This includes, for example, installing
Windows Small Business Server 2003 to connect PCs, printers
and the Internet. Gaining accreditation by Microsoft isn't
just about passing exams - you also need real life customer
references - and luckily Minerva has over 20 of these."
John Chadwick, Minerva's MD, concluded, "We are extremely
pleased to have attained Gold Certified Status in three competences
of the Microsoft Partner Program. This allows us to clearly
promote our expertise and relationship with Microsoft to our
clients. We're always seeking to enhance the offerings we
provide for clients. We've invested in training our engineers
to MCSE standards to ensure Minerva's high levels of customer
satisfaction are maintained."
