On March 14, NTR Lab became a Microsoft Certified Partner, an industry benchmark for software developers. It’s a major achievement of the company guaranteeing our technical expertise and adding a competitive edge.

In order to qualify, we

• supplied the required number of references; and
• completed special training and passed Microsoft-developed certification exams.

NTR developers now have the proven ability to deliver solutions featuring Microsoft products.

As NTR CEO Nick Mikhailovsky says: “We have long neglected any formal certifications assuming that the quality of the work we do speaks for itself. However, considering the increasingly comparative IT market and  the substantial increase of our services to blue-chip corporations, we believe that Microsoft certification will fortify our position as a credible and competent player in the software development outsourcing market.”
 

Ten NTR employees attended a Project management and its tools training class organized by Novosibirsk’s  Consulting and information system training center in conjunction with 1C-training center #1.
