DALLAS, TEXAS, September 8, 2010 – For the fifth consecutive year, Paranet Solutions, a leading IT infrastructure systems integration and consulting firm, has attained Gold Certified status in the Microsoft Partner Program. Microsoft partners achieve this status by exemplifying the highest levels of technical expertise, strategic planning, and hands-on skills. Microsoft Gold Certified Partners that have obtained this competency have a successful record of developing enterprise solutions based on Microsoft technologies. Partners have a broad range of expertise and vendor affiliations, and their real world perspective can help clients prioritize and effectively deliver technology solutions.
Everything Alan Bratton learned about being an entrepreneur he attributes to his time spent at the breakfast table with his parents: work hard, treat other people like you want to be treated, and realize that honesty is the best policy. "I’ve stuck with those three principles since my early days, and that has allowed me to be successful," says Bratton, Paranet Solutions LLC president and CEO. Success is one thing Bratton has come to know well. After successfully running two start-up companies, he took on his next challenge heading up Paranet, formerly owned by Sprint, in 2006. Under his leadership, Dallas-based Paranet—now an international company—has embraced new technologies and enhanced them with its own proprietary code to provide IT service to small and mid-sized businesses. "From the technology standpoint, we’ve continued to invest in technology and automation tools that allow us to do things for our clients on an ongoing basis that are leading-edge," Bratton says. "For example, we just implemented a new application suite to over a thousand laptops and desktops in one night … remotely." —K.A.
