After a rigorous annual audit and with a great deal of pride, we're very pleased to announce that Microsoft has reinstated our status as an Azure Expert MSP, for the sixth consecutive year. As a managed service and cloud solution provider, this is a tremendous honor. But why is this recognition so important to us? And what added value does it offer your business? Let's break it all down for you.

What is een Azure Expert MSP?

As an Azure Expert Managed Services Provider (MSP), we belong to a select group of the most capable, experienced, and reliable Microsoft partners in the world. And we are very proud of that. After all, in order to obtain this status, we had to undergo a rigorous assessment to demonstrate that we offer high-quality and well-designed cloud services that meet Microsoft's standards.

But which requirements do you need to meet exactly? And what proof do you need to provide? We'll quickly summarize it for you.

Before you can start the process of becoming an Azure Expert MSP, you must meet Microsoft's highest standards. As a partner, we have:

  • an active Solutions Partner status;
  • a substantial monthly Azure consumption and revenue;
  • an active Cloud Solution Provider contract;
  • an extensive managed services portfolio and Azure offering on AppSource or Azure Marketplace and on our website;
  • a Premier Support contract covering our Azure services.

This way, Microsoft sets the standard for its partners. And guarantees that you always receive high-quality services.

In order to obtain the certificate, we must be able to present (at least) four reference cases from customers who purchase our Azure managed services. On top of that, Microsoft also puts our experts to the test: they must be able to demonstrate that they possess the right expertise and keep up to date with the latest developments.

Being an Azure Expert MSP is not only proof of the quality of our cloud services. It also ensures that we remain on top of our game. Every year, we're required to undergo a rigorous re-evaluation to prove that we're keeping up with the latest technologies and continue to meet Microsoft's ever-growing standards.
