Slough, UKLearning NewsQA

28th July 2005, Slough UK: A year after InterQuad Learning launched the first collective public schedule delivery of training around the full range of Microsoft Business Solutions applications, the company has today announced it has had unparalleled success in the delivery of this training.

Having grown its training business from scratch to revenues in excess of £1.3 million, InterQuad has delivered training in Microsoft's ERP and CRM applications (Axapta, Great Plains, Navision, RMS and CRM) to over 1,700 delegates and actively engaged with over 75 percent of the partner market to date.

Since then, it has not only endeavoured to deliver this curriculum, but also to promote the benefits of education within the Microsoft Business Solutions partner community.

InterQuad's dedicated Microsoft Business Solutions team has been instrumental in the growth of Microsoft Business Solutions training and its exposure in the UK marketplace. Through developing value added partner relationships with key Microsoft Business Solutions partners and forming strategic alliances with both Touchstone and Advantage Business Solutions, the delivery of Microsoft Business Solutions training and classic Microsoft training content has enabled both these partners to leverage the resource capabilities that InterQuad posses around the UK.

Alex Keay, Partner Strategy Manager, Microsoft, commented: "InterQuad has shown its resolve and commitment to the Microsoft Business Solutions training business and we are delighted to be partnering with Interquad as we expand & grow the skills & certification into the channel & end-user markets."

Paul White, Business Group Head for Microsoft Business Solutions in the UK, said: "We have found that InterQuad has been proactive yet responsive to the needs of partners and their commitment to delivering a collective public schedule of courses is first class."

Karl Noakes, Head of the Channel Development Group, Microsoft UK, said: "Not only have InterQuad delivered what they promised a year ago, but exceeded expectations set by us for delivery and communication to the partner market."

Managing Director for InterQuad Learning, John Kauffman said: "We are delighted to have brought the MBS curriculum this far and we are now in a stronger position to take this curriculum further and into the end-user marketplace with our partners, specifically as MBS products achieve greater integration into the classic stack."
