Tech Resources
In a 2001 survey of 225 technical and non-technical hiring managers representing companies in a variety of industries, 89 percent of respondents said they recommend Microsoft certification for candidates seeking an IT position at their company.
Certification helps businesses identify experts with the knowledge and skills to create solutions for business problems; it helps IT managers ensure that their staff or consultants are using the latest technology in the most efficient and effective ways.
It also helps consultants and technical staff measure their knowledge, confirm that they are technically up to date, and market their skills.
According to a number of studies and surveys, training and certification can be key factors for:
- recruiting, motivating, and promoting staff
- winning and implementing corporate contracts
- reducing deployment time
- lowering implementation risk
- increasing sales hit rates
Several case studies and white papers about the benefits of certification can be found on Microsoft's web site.
