Wild Apricot is now certified in Microsoft tests

We did it!

We have a long history of cooperation with Microsoft - we are a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner - specializing in Software Solutions and Business Process Integration. The Microsoft Gold Certified Partner is the highest level of partner certification and the idea behind Microsoft's Partner Program is to provide a way for customers to objectively evaluate expertise and capabilities of technology vendors. Microsoft Gold Certified Partners need to meet a higher set of criteria for each category, including enhanced certification and a portfolio of real-world customer references, and are thus identified as the most skilled partners in specific solution areas.

Microsoft has even used one of our Wild Apricot clients AIMS for a case study.

As another step in our collaboration with Microsoft, Wild Apricot membership management software has passed stringent Microsoft platform testing by an independent expert testing company (Veritest).  Testing was conducted independently by VeriTest, a testing service of Lionbridge Technologies. These tests ensure compliance with Microsoft platform requirements to ensure security and reliability etc. Specifically, Wild Apricot has passed the following tests:

  • Microsoft Platform Test for Hosted Solutions - Managed Code
  • Microsoft Platform Test for Hosted Solutions - SQL Server
  • Microsoft Platform Test for Hosted Solutions - Web Services
  • Microsoft Platform Test for Hosted Solutions - Windows Server 

Here is our record in Microsoft Online Solution Database.

We know that with the abundance of technology these days it is very hard to separate the best offerings this is one more detail which offers reassurance for our clients and prospective clients that Wild Apricot is a solid choice for membership management and registration.

Though of course we always ask people to judge for themselves - take it  for a spin with our instant free trial.

Hi,

I am also trying to get my hosted application tested - I don't understand what they mean by "3. Includes one of the following features of a hosted solution: Service Provisioning, Monitoring and Reporting, Centralized Management."

Can you shed some light?

My application is hosted at a 3rd party hosting site - wouldn't the hosting service be responsible for the above?

Thanks,

Leslie
