Azzurri strikes Gold with Microsoft
VAR confident of more high-end business after it secures coveted Gold Partner status
Communications VAR Azzurri hopes to land more high-end business with its recently secured Microsoft Gold Partner status.
Azzurri was given the accreditation after it achieved competencies in Advanced Infrastructure Solutions and Mobility Solutions.
Martin St Quinton, chief executive of Azzurri, told CRN: “Microsoft is a critical player in voice and data communications convergence. We will now be able to work on higher-level projects. If Microsoft wants to work with a partner on a large-scale project, it will pick a Gold partner.”
Paul Turner, managing director of Microsoft Gold Partner Panacea, said: “The primary benefit [Gold status grants] a VAR is more leads, discounts and a better level of training.
“As a Microsoft Gold Partner you also get licensing for the majority of its products at no extra cost.”
