How to Verify a Microsoft Gold Partner

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Mark Schurmann 4

We are in the process of evaluating ERP solutions and we are looking at NAV.  We are working with a partner that has presented themselves as a Gold Partner, however I am not having any luck verifying this.  The company does not have a profile on Pinpoint but this site seems geared toward Partners, not customers, and other Gold Partner that I've worked with do not seem to be there either.

Microsoft does not seem to provide much in this area.  Surely if you are going to provide a certification, you would provide a means of verification.  Can someone point me in the right direction?

    RE: How to Verify a Microsoft Gold Partner

    To close out this question.  I contacted the number provided below, but they were only able to verify that the vendor was a reseller.  I contacted our Microsoft Account rep who put me in touch with the Director of Dynamics in the Southeast.  He took several days to investigate the vendor and eventually came back with evidence that they were a Silver partner, not a Gold.  What is interesting is that one of the requirements of being a Silver or Gold partner is to complete a partner profile.  This would result in them appearing with their certifications on pinpoint and it would have taken me 60 seconds to verify.

    Since pinpoint seems to be the conduit for connecting partners and customers, I am surprised that Microsoft is not more interested in this step of the process.

    Hi Mark,

    Sorry for the delay.

    In researching this I used the Chat feature on the below link; and they stated there is not an on-line source to verify certifications but you may call the American Operations Center at 1-800-456-0025 to verify this.
