VANCOUVER, BC–Sierra Systems (TSE:SSG), one of North America's leading systems integration and business consulting firms, today announced that its Vancouver location has had its partner status renewed in the Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Program.

Sierra Systems has been a Microsoft Certified Partner since 1995. Sierra Systems' Vancouver branch has been named a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner due to its proven commitment and expertise in implementing the latest e-business solutions based on Microsoft technologies. Membership in the Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Program provides Sierra Systems with additional resources to develop and deploy Microsoft solutions that speed customers' time to market and reduce costs.

"Sierra Systems is extremely pleased with our status as a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner," said Carol Collins, Director of Consulting for Sierra Systems. "Being a member of the program gives us early access to product information, so that when our clients are ready to take advantage of the latest Microsoft technology solution, we already have the experience we need."

"Today's pressures to build the best e-commerce solutions can be critical to business success. These solutions need to be reliable, yet deployed very quickly," said Rosa Garcia, general manager of the Partner Programs Group at Microsoft Corp. "Microsoft recognizes that companies don't want to choose a technology partner that needs to learn on the job - they need a partner with proven experience. Today, Microsoft recognizes Sierra Systems for providing customer satisfaction in several e-commerce deployments. This distinction brings value to the Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Program and makes it clear that Sierra Systems has the skills and experience to provide high-quality e-commerce solutions on Microsoft technology."
