There is also news to report on service and support offerings.
Those who are awarded the title of Most Valuable Professional (MVP) by Microsoft deserve to give themselves a pat on the back. You cannot apply for entry to this club, you have to be nominated by a Microsoft employee or an MVP. For software companies like the COSMO CONSULT Group, the MVPs are a godsend: ahead of their time in terms of technology, they are well networked and often find new, creative approaches, which are best tools for coming up with innovative solutions and products. Tobias Fenster, Chief Technical Officer (CTO) at COSMO CONSULT, is one of these MVPs.
In the past, it was necessary to submit a request to book a training course from COSMO CONSULT, and bookings could only be made when they were related to an ERP project. Now the software and consulting company is launching an educational initiative aimed also at existing customers and other users of business software from Microsoft. Starting in the spring of 2020, it will be possible to book individual on-site company training courses in addition to classroom teaching and online seminars from COSMO COLLEGE. This brings the company closer to its customers and gives them support in training their employees.

At the same time, they reflect the standard we set for ourselves of being one of the leading end-to-end solution providers.
