Why Should You Hire an MSP with a Microsoft Partnership?

If your business uses Microsoft software, you should consider hiring a managed service provider (MSP) that has achieved Microsoft partner status. Hiring an MSP with such an established credential ensures that your Microsoft suite is secure, up-to-date, and functioning at its full capacity.

In this blog, we’ll walk you through the process of becoming a Microsoft partner, what is the silver cloud partner credential, and why a certified MSP is uniquely positioned to provide your business with superior IT services.

What Makes a Microsoft Partnership Credible? 

Microsoft is one of the most trusted names in the technology sector, and its partner program provides a rigorous screening process for potential MSPs. 

  1. Assessment: Before earning official Microsoft recognition, an MSP must demonstrate their technical expertise by passing exams that assess their knowledge of a variety of Microsoft products and services. 
  2. Tangible Knowledge: Additionally, they must show tangible knowledge of how to configure, manage and troubleshoot Microsoft solutions. 
  3. Ongoing Training: In order to maintain partner status, an MSP must complete ongoing training and stay current on new developments within the Microsoft product catalog. 

This certification ensures that your business is always receiving cutting-edge IT services from a qualified professional.

The Microsoft Silver Cloud Partner Credential

One of the most coveted Microsoft credentials is the Silver Cloud Partner status. At Envision Consulting, we are proud to announce that we have achieved the prestigious Microsoft Silver Cloud Partner credential.

This credential signifies that our team has met all of the requirements necessary to be a trusted advisor for Microsoft’s products and services, including cloud solutions such as Azure. It also means that we have access to exclusive support and a deep understanding of Microsoft technology, both essential for delivering superior IT services.

Attaining this Microsoft partnership wasn’t easy, but we’re committed to being the best MSP we can be. We’re your ideal trusted advisor for Microsoft products and services.

Envision Consulting

We started Envision Consulting for businesses that share our passion for building long- term and healthy relationships. While we might be technology experts, we’ve always known that trust, reliability and looking after a client’s best interest are paramount to succeeding in business. But in 2001 and to this day, there were few managed IT providers available that embodied our customer-centric values. There were countless support companies more interested in reacting to issues than paving the road forward for clients, making it far too difficult to build long-term relationships. We felt a strong pull to make something different, and we did.
