Chicago, IL – May 15, 2008 – Intrinsic Technologies, a Microsoft National Systems Integrator and Gold Certified Partner, announced today that it has achieved the requirements needed for two more competencies in the Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Program which brings Intrinsic’s number of earned competencies to seven. In addition to the new competencies, Intrinsic added the Database Management Specialization under the Data Management Solution, Portals & Collaboration Specialization under the Information Worker Solutions and Identity & Secure Access Specialization under the Security Solutions.

"Achieving the various Microsoft competencies all starts with the consultant in the field. Passed exams lead to certifications for our consultants. These certifications in turn provide the foundation of concepts and knowledge that allow our consultants to gain experience in the field. Experience leads to references which eventually lead to specializations and competencies," said Al Batson, Chief Operation Officer for Intrinsic. "The Microsoft accreditation framework, from passed exams to technical competencies, raises the standards to which we are all measured ensuring quality services to our customers."

This competency focuses on BizTalk Server and Microsoft Host Integration Server. The Database Management Competency is a proven competency in complete end-to-end data management reporting and analysis solutions to help improve an organizations success.
