Why Use THG?
The Henson Group, Inc. (THG) is an award-winning Microsoft Gold Certified Partner focused on the deployment of Microsoft technologies for U.S. and international companies. Key distinctions differentiating THG from competitors include:

PROVEN EXPERIENCE AND MICROSOFT PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE
Multiple Microsoft Competencies
The Henson Group currently possesses eight official Solutions Competencies. These competencies are official Microsoft endorsements and are only achieved through Microsoft based on client references, project experience, and product certifications. The Henson Group’s Competencies include: Advanced Infrastructure, Business Process and Integration, Custom Development, Data Management, Information Worker, Learning Solutions, Networking Infrastructure, and Security Solutions.

Consultant Knowledge
Many of our consultants are former Microsoft engineers, meaning they not only have personal contacts in Redmond, but they were also trained through Microsoft Internal Product Training initiatives. Because of this expertise, we are one of a few “Go-To” partners regularly tapped for MCS subcontract work, that lead several User Groups at Microsoft, and present alongside Microsoft at industry events.

Proprietary Project Management Processes
The Henson Group’s Proprietary Project Management Framework delivers solutions often in less time than it takes other IT consultancies. Part of this framework includes a phased approach, sign-off meetings, and training consultants as Project Managers. At the same time, The Henson Group’s client extranet ensures real-time access to project status and documentation 24/7.

MICROSOFT STATUS AND INFLUENCE
Award-Winning Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Status
THG enjoys privileged access to exclusive Microsoft resources, such as the ability to open Product Support cases (at no cost to the client), participation in exclusive Beta testing, and TAP and RDP subsidy programs to help fund clients’ projects.

Member of Microsoft US PAC (Partner Advisory Council)
THG President Greg Henson is on Microsoft’s United States Partner Advisory Council, which includes the top 22 partners in the US. As a member, Greg helps influence and shape Microsoft’s approach to delivering business solutions to its customers, while at the same time tuning product and channel strategies.

Regular Interaction With Microsoft Leaders
The Henson Group is one of a select few trusted Partners that is regularly invited to meet with key Microsoft executives to discuss strategy, present alongside Microsoft at industry events, and participate in exclusive technology initiatives.

COMPANY STRUCTURE
Founded and operated by former Microsoft professionals, The Henson Group will always offer deep access to Microsoft’s product groups, providing clients with non-published information or updates not yet available to the general public.

THG is a privately held S-Corp. with no Venture Capital or investor ownership, meaning THG is not beholden to pressure exerted by outside investors. Our interests are solely focused on achieving total client satisfaction and effective growth.
