ThoughtBridge, an innovative business and application consulting firm focused on Microsoft technologies, today announced that it has been selected to Microsoft’s National Systems Integrator (NSI) Program.  The NSI program is comprised of strategic Microsoft partners that have made significant investments to promote Microsoft’s platform and application business. Inclusion into the prestigious program places ThoughtBridge into an elite group of the country’s top 50 Microsoft partners. The designation further enhances the company’s Microsoft Gold Managed Partner status.

In addition, ThoughtBridge, which specializes in SharePoint and .NET technologies, recently earned three Microsoft Southeast Area Awards for outstanding achievement in the categories for Greater Southeast Partners (H1) and for Influence Revenue Hero (H1 and H2). The awards signify ThoughtBridge’s capability to compete and influence licensing revenue for Microsoft. In addition, it also demonstrates the company’s leadership in the Microsoft partner ecosystem.

“We are honored to be placed into the upper echelon of Microsoft’s partners,” said Jim Straub, president of ThoughtBridge. “We have consistently demonstrated to Microsoft our ability to win customers, influence licensing revenue and serve as a strong partner on account activities. This award shows our commitment to delivering business value to our clients by utilizing Microsoft applications and solutions. We look forward to benefiting from our deepened national relationship with Microsoft.”

The NSI program was established for premier Microsoft partners to elevate marketing and delivery strategies across multiple geographic and product segments. Its purpose is to increase Microsoft’s focus and engagement with ThoughtBridge, which includes overall strategic planning, greater alignment with Microsoft field resources, collaborative marketing efforts and executive sponsorship. To qualify as an NSI partner, IT consulting firms must meet specific revenue requirements, practice development, market coverage and partnership criteria. To remain in the program, companies must invest the resources required to achieve specific goals and undergo an annual review process.
