Certification is the tangible proof that demonstrates our competency in any particular technology.” Joey Gurango, founder and CTO of Gurango Software, Philippines • “As more customers specifically request for Microsoft certified staff in their tenders, organizations that have a high concentration of certified staff are at a distinct advantage.” Joy Rathnayake, Senior Software Engineer, IronOne Technologies, Sri Lanka • “As people learn about new technologies, the environment of knowledge sharing that was set up for the purpose of certification leads to knowledge being shared around the team.” Rob Farley, mentor and consultant for Solid Quality Learning Pty Ltd, Australia • “Ultimately, certification does add to one’s market value as companies will pay a premium when they see that an employee is Microsoft certified.” Edwin Sarmiento, Senior Systems Engineer & Database Administrator, Fujitsu Asia Pte Ltd, Singapore • “In terms of team motivation, a certified individual is a point of contact for technology questions when others hit the wall, and assures our clients that there is somebody with the right credentials for the job.” Sarbjit Singh Gill, Unified Communications and Collaboration Specialist, British Telecommunications, Singapore
