We are also a Tier 1 Cloud Solution Provider (CSP), and as such are able to provision, manage and bill for your Microsoft cloud solutions. Working with a Tier 1 Microsoft CSP partner means you’re teamed up with an organisation that has invested in its own infrastructure and demonstrated its support and billing capabilities are up to Microsoft standards. It also means that your provider has a direct line to Microsoft – so when new developments come down the pipeline or issues need to be escalated; they aren’t waiting on a distributor to pass the message along.

As businesses diversify their systems and data location through various “As a Service” platforms, it creates an additional level of complexity around data protection. Ensuring your services and data are protected and recoverable is critical, irrelevant of its location or how it is consumed.

We continue to enhance our partnership with AvePoint coupling our services and skills with their products and technology bringing on new capabilities in the data protection and reporting space.
