Microsoft awards Ultima as an Azure Expert MSP

Ultima have today achieved Microsoft Azure Expert Managed Service Provider (AEMSP) status. Azure Expert MSP is the highest Microsoft Accreditation level for Azure and independently validates Ultima’s expertise and quality of Cloud transformation services, covering planning, migration, optimisation, operation, and management of Cloud services on the Azure platform.

Ultima offers a dedicated portfolio of Professional and Managed Services, spanning the entire lifecycle of Cloud services running on the Azure platform. These offerings support customers to better assess, migrate, manage, protect, optimise, and innovate with a vast range of Cloud solutions including Infrastructure workloads, Azure DevOps, Azure Sentinel, Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) and so much more.

This highly sought-after accreditation comes following Ultima gaining the Azure-based Microsoft Infra and Database Migration Advanced Specialisation.

Obtaining Azure Expert MSP also confirmed Ultima’s skill in automation, especially its own in-house designed Cloud Management Platform (CMP) and systematic processes in managed services, both which were standout areas that Ultima have become increasingly known for in the industry.

Having Azure Expert MSP status, puts Ultima in an elite group of partners both in the UK and globally and confirms that Ultima’s experts can design, build and manage a secure, resilient and scalable Cloud infrastructure that empowers and enables any organisation and its users to perform to the best of their ability.

For customers, this accreditation validates Ultima’s pedigree as a dependable, best-in-class Cloud services provider. Ultima has long provided the highest levels of service and the most robust safeguarding measures to reduce risk, exceed customer expectations, and consistently and continuously maintain standards. In practice, this enables organisations to adopt, manage, and optimise their Azure estate with absolute peace of mind. Rather than taking a leap of faith, they can invest in the cloud with confidence.
