The Microsoft Information Worker Solutions Competency is changing to reflect the enhanced capabilities of the 2007 Microsoft Office system and Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. The program will now be made up of nine specializations that have been designed to help you better position yourself to build today's most in-demand business solutions-and capitalize on some of the fastest-growing market-segment opportunities.
As a partner who is active in the "Office System Desktop Deployment" and/or "Office Smart Client" specialization in the Information Worker Solutions Competency, we want to inform you that the names of these specializations are being changed and the list of qualifying exams is being expanded to include the new Microsoft Office 2007 products. Please be assured that these changes require no action on your part and your benefits will continue without interruption.
Please refer to the table below for more information about the new specialization names.
