Gateway Becomes Only IT Company From Gujarat Ranked In Microsoft 50 Most Competent Partners Worldwide

Online, August 12, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Recognized as one of the most agile IT players globally, Gateway TechnoLabs, an Ahmedabad-based global sourcing and IT services provider, has secured 29th position in the list of Microsoft's 50 'Most Competent' Partners. While only two other Indian firms have got such privilege, the privately-held company from Ahmedabad, is the only player from Gujarat to get included in the list.

The final list of top 50 most competent partners of Microsoft has been selected from over 79,000 partners working worldwide by Redmond Media Group's Redmond Channel Partner (RCP). The other two Indian bigwigs included in the list are Wipro Ltd and HCL Infosystems Ltd, which got 19th& 41stposition respectively.
