What does it take to be Microsoft Gold Certified?

Gold: The gold competency, and highest Microsoft certification, is awarded to companies that have demonstrated high-level expertise and a specialized, proven skill set in a given technology or service area. Microsoft recognizes these partners for their exceptional commitment to strengthening customer relationships by offering effective, innovative business solutions. These businesses are among only 1% of Microsoft partners worldwide that have attained this outstanding degree of proficiency.
So what does it take to earn a gold or silver competency? Microsoft requires a rigorous process for partner companies to earn competencies. On a high level, companies must demonstrate:

Skill: Employ a minimum number of Microsoft Certified Professionals (MCPs)
Proficiency: Pass in-depth certification exams developed by Microsoft
Experience: Demonstrate real-world successes with at least five years in business
References: Provide customer references and projects verified by Microsoft
