About Us

Our company has been involved with Visual Studio Team System since pre-Betas (when it was referred to only as "Burton"). Needless to say, we have extensive experience with this product.

One of Accentient’s founders, Richard Hundhausen, authored the Microsoft Press book “Working with Visual Studio 2005 Team System.” Accentient also worked intimately with Microsoft to design the Microsoft Official Curriculum (MOC) which focuses entirely on Team System.

Accentient was also responsible for the Team System content and demonstrations used at the Visual Studio 2005 worldwide launch. Our expertise was acknowledged by Microsoft in October 2005, when its founders were given MVP awards in Team System. In fact, all of Accentient’s mentors are individuals who have outstanding credentials and community recognition.

Accentient is a company that has proven itself within the developer community and we continue to exceed the expectations of all our clients.

Our Mission

Accentient's mission is to provide best-practice training, services, and courseware to those who develop software using Microsoft's tools and technologies.

Our Philosophy

Training developers is our life, our hobby, and our primary business. Rest assured that our reputation is just as important as yours and, as such, we will strive to impress your team and clients, earning you the respect, and increased productivity that you demand. Unlike other training companies who focus on Team System’s features, we focus on your team!
