Sure, Vista's release topped the news in 2007, but recognizing Carney's achievement of Gold Certified Partner and Microsoft Small Business Specialist must have sneaked onto Mr. Gates' radar screen, too!

"Partners play a critical role in delivering solutions and applications to customers with the Microsoft Office system," says Chris Capossela, corporate vice president of the Information Worker Product Management Group at Microsoft Cor.  "The value of solutions competencies is that they enable Microsoft to deliver resources and training to partners meeting their client needs.  And for partners, the opportunity to highlight their expertise to clients is tremendous in the growing information worker solutions market."

Carney's is ideally positioned to deliver the full suite of Microsoft solutions to their corporate and education clientele.
