Advanced 365 sets its heart on the Microsoft Cloud

Advanced 365 has announced that it has achieved the Microsoft Cloud Accelerate Partner status.

The managed service provider said it shares the new certificate with only one percent of Microsoft’s partner base.

The Microsoft Cloud Accelerate Partner programme is designed to recognise and reward partners that have a proven track record of delivering Microsoft cloud services to their customers.

Advanced was awarded Cloud Accelerate Partner status after successfully providing Microsoft Office 365 to more than 500 users, which it claimed demonstrated significant Microsoft cloud expertise.

Neil Cross, Managing Director of Advanced 365 said: “We have many years’ experience providing Microsoft cloud services, with our cloud offering having seen rapid take-up in recent years. We are very proud of this Microsoft accreditation, especially as we share the privilege with only one per cent of partners worldwide. This marks another significant milestone for Advanced.”

Josh Waldo, Senior Director in the Worldwide Partner Group at Microsoft, said: “We are excited about Advanced 365 joining the Microsoft Cloud Accelerate program, which provides top cloud partners with technical and business support to build and sell cloud solutions based on Microsoft technologies, offering incredible value to customers. The partners in this program are doing amazing things and are looking to differentiate their businesses and better serve customers with Microsoft cloud solutions.”

Advanced is also a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner with six competencies and a Microsoft Silver Certified Partner with four competencies.

Its customers include The Nursing and Midwifery Council, Notting Hill Housing Trust, Cazenove, ISS, Zolfo Cooper and Northern Ireland Department of Health, Social Care and Public Safety.
