What is an Azure Expert MSP?
The Azure Expert Managed Service Provider program was established by Microsoft to connect clients to highly capable partners for their most complex cloud projects. It is an elite program reserved for the top Microsoft Azure partners in the world.
Azure Expert MSPs have invested in the people, process, and technology needed to harness deep Azure knowledge and service capabilities. They have also demonstrated their ability to deliver consistent, repeatable managed services on Azure.
They are highly technical organizations with skillsets across DevOps/SysOps, cloud planning and architecture, professional consulting. According to Microsoft, “an Azure Expert MSP pivots on business outcomes of their customer’s solutions and applications, and not on workloads or offers.”
“These expert partners have proven real world proficiency and skills, for datacenter lift-and-shift, born-in-cloud new applications, and everything in-between.”
