Content+Cloud achieves Microsoft Azure Expert MSP status

Firm secures coveted Microsoft badge after going through audit process

Content+Cloud has achieved Microsoft Azure Expert MSP status which it claims has established it among the "global elite" in Microsoft's Azure partner ranks.

The London-based MSP passed an audit by a third-party assessor which scrutinised the capability and maturity of Content+Cloud's Azure practice.

The Azure Expert MSP certification is held by just over 100 companies globally, with UK firms including ANS Group, Claranet and Node4 achieving the certification.

Content+Cloud says it is only awarded to Microsoft's "most capable partners offering Microsoft Azure services".

It will complement its existing Azure Advanced Specialisations in Windows and SQL Migration and Azure Virtual Desktop.

Nick Isherwood, Azure Product Director at Content+Cloud, said: "Achieving Microsoft Azure Expert MSP status is a landmark for everyone at Content+Cloud as it validates the extensive Azure capabilities and services the team has developed over the last decade.

"In this time, we've been able to build a world-class Azure Cloud Centre of Excellence, delivering cloud-centric transformation to clients large and small, across the public and private sectors, and in a variety of diverse industries. Our portfolio supports clients from initial Azure adoption through to ongoing management and optimisation to support their digital transformation agenda.

"Gaining this level of recognition from Microsoft is testament to the quality and commitment of Content+Cloud's people, who live and breathe our clients' success.

"I'm hugely excited by the opportunities that our Azure Expert MSP status will bring not only to us, but also to our clients, who'll benefit the most from the assurance that we are regularly audited against best practice and continually driving our proposition forward."

Peter Sweetbaum added: "The Azure Expert MSP is an accreditation awarded only to the most credible Microsoft partners that have invested in the extensive skills, tooling and organisational design and processes, enabling them to deliver Azure managed services. This is a tremendous achievement for Content+Cloud, and is testament to the team, led by Nick Isherwood, that has brought our Azure practice and offerings to a new level."
