Grey Matter achieves new Microsoft Partner Designations
News|by Alanna|7 February 2023
Last year Microsoft announced that it would be retiring its legacy partnership model, based on competency attainment, and transitioning to Solutions Partner Designations.
The new Solutions Partner Designations align to six solution areas that require partners to earn points against performance, skilling, and customer success measures to achieve them.
We’re pleased to announce that we have now attained four out of six designations, reflecting our expertise across infrastructure, intelligent cloud, and modern work.




Digital & App Innovation
Recognising our expertise in helping customers modernise their existing applications and build cloud-native apps.
Infrastructure
Recognising our expertise in helping customers accelerate the migration of their infrastructure workloads to Azure.
Data & AI
Recognising our expertise in helping customers to manage and govern their data across multiple systems to build analytics and AI solutions.
Modern Work
Recognising our expertise in helping customers to boost their productivity and embrace hybrid working with Microsoft 365.
