5 Great Reasons to get a Visual Studio TFS Health Check …
… from Black Marble this December
Black Marble has always been proud of its strong credentials for the work we do, and this year we are encouraging our customers to take advantage of them too!
This year we have 5 Great Reasons for you to take out a Visual Studio Health Check from Black Marble:
1. Gold ALM Partner – Black Marble is the first UK partner to achieve the new Gold standard in the ALM competency. Microsoft re-launched the Partner 
Network this autumn, and to ensure customers know they are getting experts in their field, they raised the bar for companies to reach the Gold standard in individual competencies. At Black Marble we ensured our staff were suitably qualified and experienced, in order to be ready to achieve Gold when the new competencies were launched and we were delighted to be the first UK partner to do so!
2. Engineering Director Richard Fennell – Microsoft Most Valuable Professional in Visual Studio (ALM). Richard is in his third year as a Microsoft MVP – recognised as one of the best and brightest from technology communities around the world for his contributions on Visual Studio (ALM).
3. And Richard is also an ALM Ranger (see right)! ALM Rangers are selected from Microsoft Staff, MVPs and Industry Leaders and deliver out-of-band solutions for missing features or guidance.
4. Black Marble is an Inner Circle Partner – Black Marble has been a member of the Microsoft Visual Studio Inner Circle programme for over a year. The programme is an initiative from Microsoft to engage with key application life-cycle management (ALM) partners worldwide, and Black Marble is one of only a few in the UK. As an Inner Circle partner we work closely in a reciprocal relationship with the Microsoft experts, both nationally and internationally, receiving specialised training and early access to the next generation of Microsoft Developer Tools.
5. Our Xmas Elf Check offer.
And this December, we are giving away FOUR sets of XBox with Kinect to customers who engage Black Marble in December to carry out a VS TFS Health Check. With one draw a week, this is a great opportunity to get hold of the fast-selling, must-have gift for Xmas … and for your business to benefit from our skills, knowledge and experience!
