Nigerian-based Tranter International Limited is the first company in Africa to be awarded Microsoft Gold Certified Partner status for Support Services. Offering services ranging from PC support to e-business and network solutions, Tranter International provides its customers with customised IT solutions and support that meet their specific needs.

One of the problems facing businesses today, irrespective of size and industry, and across the continent, is that they lack the IT infrastructure to support their applications and customer demands in a fast paced digital world.

This Gold Certified partnership acknowledges Tranter International's ability to provide its clients with expert technical support on Microsoft products and deliver agile technology solutions by offering development, implementation, support and training on Microsoft solutions.

"By partnering with Microsoft, we are able to gain extensive knowledge and support that is a virtual extension of Microsoft itself, resulting in fast and accurate resolutions. Together, our complementary services provide better solutions and more support options, maximising the benefits of our service to our customers," says Seyi Okanlawon, divisional manager of ICT Support Services at Tranter International Ltd.

Tranter International continues to establish value-driven relationships with customers, which is made possible through its close relationship with Microsoft. This partnership also ensures compliance with Microsoft's rigorous worldwide certification standards and proven expertise with actual customer references.
