Going For Gold and Getting There First!

Posted by Anna on Thursday, January 20th, 2011

axon IT is extremely proud to have been awarded Microsoft Gold Partner Status – Virtualization Competency. Not only that, but we’re the first business in the North West to have received such an accolade.

It means that we are now the only IT solutions provider in the region endorsed by Microsoft to offer virtual and cloud computing-based solutions.

Last year, Microsoft announced some serious changes to the way it assesses its partners, meaning that all previous Microsoft Partners have had to re-apply for their status, choosing a competency relevant to their specific business. So we re-applied, and we chose virtualization.

It wasn’t easy – our engineers have taken 25 exams between them to help gain the accreditation. But the hard work has paid off!
