Microstaff IT
Microstaff IT is an information technology education and consulting firm founded in 1995, with a focus on emerging Microsoft technologies. Our primary business is knowledge transfer, delivered either in the classroom or through consulting and mentoring engagements. We are a Microsoft Gold Partner with a variety of “competencies” ranging from Network Infrastructure, to Information Worker, to Custom Development Solutions (.Net, SQL, and SharePoint).
We operate a traditional IT training facility in Columbia, South Carolina (Microsoft Gold Partner Learning Solutions Competency) where IT professionals participate in a full schedule of advanced information technology centric courses either in person or remote via a remote instruction delivery system.
Our Consultant/Instructors work with clients from around the country, and are often called upon to deliver specialized training around the world. We believe that good instructors should have current expertise and scar tissue earned in the field on real world projects. In addition, our Consultant/Instructors often work on course development projects for technologies, products, and versions still in their pre-release stage. This chance to gain a deep understanding of new tools before the rest of the industry, gives our consultants a significant edge when discussing implementation planning and strategy with our clients.
