  • CANCOM is certified by Microsoft as an Azure Expert Managed Service Provider (MSP) – the highest partner status in the Azure environment.
  • The certification confirms the company’s ability to support customers throughout the entire cloud lifecycle with automated and scalable Azure services.
  • Customers benefit from seamless EA to CSP migration and access to Azure workshops.

CANCOM has been certified by Microsoft as an Azure Expert Managed Service Provider (MSP). Azure Expert MSP status is the highest qualification that Microsoft awards to partners in the field of Azure services. CANCOM is thus one of a select group of companies worldwide that have demonstrated their expertise and performance in operating Azure environments in a rigorous testing process.

To obtain certification, partners must undergo a multi-stage audit to prove that they use established service management capabilities and can deliver repeatable, automated services on Azure. This status clearly differentiates CANCOM from traditional MSPs and shows that the digital business provider supports companies not only in technical operations but also in the business-oriented use of the cloud.

Simplified cloud migration for companies

With its new partner status, CANCOM can, among other things, map a migration from Enterprise Agreement (EA) to CSP without downtime. Customers also benefit from programs such as paid Azure workshops, which Microsoft makes available exclusively to Azure Expert MSPs.

“Certification as an Azure Expert MSP is an important milestone in the further development of our cloud portfolio. It confirms that we have established the necessary processes and platforms to reliably guide our customers through complex Azure projects – from planning to continuous optimization. This enables us to create the technical foundation for the efficient use of AI-based applications in companies,” says Martin Mayr, Senior Vice President at CANCOM.
