TiGra Networks is a qualified Microsoft Small Business Specialist - in fact Rhondda Cynon Taff's first (and we think, best). This means that our skills and services have been scrutinised and endorsed by Microsoft - with particular regard to solving the challenges faced by the small business.

The Small Business Specialist qualification and logo serve as an important quality gurantee and are helping to raise the standard for IT providers. Many companies think they know about IT and are happy to sell you systems and software that a few months later you will discover do not really meet your needs. Successful business IT requires vision and strategy. TiGra Networks, RCT's first Small Business Specialist, has this vision and strategy. Through our business and technology assessment process, we can help you develop a long-term strategic view of your IT and provide solutions that not only work today but will grow with your business to support you tomorrow.

This is what Microsoft says about its Small Business Specialists:

About Small Business Specialists

Small Business Specialists are IT consultants that have demonstrated they understand - and can deal with - the needs of UK small businesses. They have passed an advanced technical exam and have access to support, training and resources from Microsoft. They can help you maximise the return on your IT investment - and, of course, ensure you only invest in IT when it is the right thing to do.

By and large, our Small Business Specialists are small companies themselves. That means they understand the pressures you face when running a small business.

You can identify a Small Business Specialist by looking for the logo. When you see this, you can be confident you are dealing with a company that knows how to make IT work for smaller companies.

Microsoft is proud to recommend our Small Business Specialists; we believe they are best able to help smaller companies in the UK with their IT. If you have any questions about the certification or feedback on a service you have received, then please email msukpcms@microsoft.com.
