ioko is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner for nine areas spanning application development and infrastructure support. The certification that relates to SharePoint is known as Information Worker.  There are less than 30 of these in the UK and to achieve this we had to meet the following strict criteria:

• Delivery of three Information Worker projects (all including SharePoint).  This included a set of documents that were delivered alongside the projects to provide evidence of the implementation
• Have at least five fully-skilled and Microsoft Certified Information Worker developers
• The customers of the solutions that we put forward had to sign off that ioko had delivered the projects to their satisfaction

ioko are also one of the members of the UK Business Productivity Partner Expert Community, set up by Microsoft to promote excellence in standards of delivery of SharePoint Portal Server and other Windows Server System products and to share knowledge amongst other Expert Community partners.
