We’re an Azure Specialist for ISV – 3 Years Running!
News|2 August 2022

We’re excited to announce that Microsoft has once again recognised us as an “Azure Specialist for ISV” for FY22! We are the only partner to have achieved this for three years running, and we remain one of only three Microsoft partners in the UK with this status, and one of 45 globally.
Our mission has always been to help accelerate Independent Software Vendor’s adoption of Azure by providing expert technical services and sound commercial advice.
To celebrate this achievement, we are donating our Azure Design Service (ADS), worth £2,950, to any ISVs that are new to Azure and want to make sure they are deploying their solution using a best practice framework.
What is an Azure Design Service?
Our Azure Design Service is a high-level architectural review of your current or intended infrastructure through the lens of the five pillars of a well-architected Azure Framework – reliability, security, cost-optimisation, operational excellence, and performance efficiency.
After 3.5 days with the expert guidance of an Azure-certified Solutions Architect, your outputs will be an Azure architecture high-level design (HLD) with technical documentation relating to Azure services. And, a cost estimate.
Contact us
