## The partnership

Our team has specialised in VMware technology for years. Some of us have worked with it
since the turn of the century, others since VMware turned server virtualization on its
head. Over the years that has become a long list of finished projects.

We intend to be the most capable VMware partner in Switzerland. That means our engineers
keep up with what is being released, and keep training. That is the work behind the motto
rather than the motto itself.

## After Broadcom

We remained a strong VMware partner and are more involved in professional services than we
were before. Our people work on projects in Broadcom's name and implement VCF.

Alongside the project and licensing business we are an official Cloud Service Provider at
**Premier** status. We do not host ourselves; we are the point of contact for our CSP
partners in the white-label programme.

## What that is in numbers

Added up, we hold **224 active VMware certifications**. Among them:

- 63 Certified Expert
- 161 Proven Professional

Then there are the Broadcom Knights and the vExperts. The Knights programme is a
recognition and training programme for selected technical specialists in Broadcom's partner
network; membership is by invitation and renewed yearly. The vExpert award goes to people
who are active in the community and pass on what they know, in blog posts, VMUG sessions
and elsewhere.

Who holds which is on each person's profile, and is not maintained here.
