SOURCE is really stepping up their Microsoft UC game!  Since coming on board just a few months ago, I have seen this company’s Microsoft UC practice really take off!  SOURCE has had a healthy and established relationship with Microsoft for many years, but we recently attained our Gold Certification.  Yesss!

Good for SOURCE, but more so, good for our customers! Our gold certifications include Unified Communications, Portals and Collaboration and Content Management.  For customers looking to grow or migrate their systems in one of these areas, SOURCE is able to design, implement and support them after the installation.
