Burlington, MASSACHUSETTS, October 1, 2006 – groupSPARK, the #1 Private Label Exchange Hosting provider, today announced their new status as a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner.  Gold Certified Partners go through a rigorous process that requires them to maintain high standards of technical ability and training, to work with their existing customer base for surveys and references, and to reach certain thresholds for company size and importance to Microsoft’s market plan.

Ravi Agarwal, groupSPARK’s CEO, said “This is a big step for groupSPARK.  There are not very many Gold Certified Partners. The process to gain this certification is a challenge and our customers do not take this status lightly.”

Mr. Agarwal went on to add “We have been working extensively with Microsoft from presenting with them on Exchange Hosting topics to actually being in the Microsoft booth at major industry conferences.  Our Gold status and our work with Microsoft is an affirmation of just how fast we are growing as a company and how important we are to their strategic direction.”
