BrightStarr UK Join Microsoft's Virtual Employee Program (V-TSP)

GODALMING, England, June 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --



BrightStarr, a leading global SharePoint Consultancy and Digital Agency, announced today that they have been selected for the UK Microsoft Virtual Technology Solutions Professional (V-TSP) Program.  This follows BrightStarr USA already having two V-TSP employees on the program.

The program is a select group chosen from the elite in Microsoft's partner community to provide highly skilled solution specialists to Microsoft customers. By augmenting Microsoft's internal Technology Specialist teams, the program will enable a high performance team of partner-based resources to deliver pre-sales activities to empower customers and help them meet their solution requirements. The program aims to deepen relationships between Microsoft partners and Microsoft product teams, in order to jointly provide highly skilled resources to Microsoft customers.

Will Saville, Microsoft V-TSP and BrightStarr Co-Founder was chosen by Microsoft because of his deep understanding and experience of delivering enterprise scale Microsoft SharePoint solutions. With outstanding architectural, development, consulting and customer facing skills, Will will be involved in multiple aspects of customer engagements; from pre-sales, training, customer visits, seminars and technical delivery.  Will commented, "My Microsoft V-TSP role is to communicate the value of Microsoft solutions and provide architectural guidance for enterprise scale SharePoint solutions, specifically around Intranet, User Experience and Design. I'm looking forward to building more great relationships through the program and delivering joint engagements with Microsoft."

As part of the program, BrightStarr will strengthen their relationship with Microsoft and have direct access to online resources and documentation that are usually reserved for internal Microsoft teams. They'll also have early access to information about new product releases, which will benefit both BrightStarr and Microsoft customers.  Fiona Bridle, BrightStarr's Digital Marketing Manager commented, "BrightStarr have been a Microsoft Gold Partner since their creation. The program is by invite and nomination only and we feel very privileged to have been asked to join, further strengthening our relationship with Microsoft."

Robbie Leggett, Microsoft TSP commented, "I'm delighted that BrightStarr have been selected to take part in our V-TSP program. Their experience, expertise and commitment to providing world-class SharePoint solutions demonstrates they have what it takes to provide pre-sales guidance and best practice advice to our customers."
