As customers are also required to complete a customer satisfaction survey and also confirm successful delivery of high-grade solutions, attaining a Gold Competency is also a stamp of approval from our clients,” said Ray Meiring, CEO of Qorus Software, in a statement.

“In essence, the Microsoft Gold Competency serves as reassurance to the market that our technology can run seamlessly within a Microsoft environment and that as a vendor we are able to deliver high-grade solutions and excellent levels of service,” he said.
