Coretek Attains Microsoft Azure Expert MSP Status for Fifth Year

By Tracey E. Schelmetic

Microsoft has made it easier for companies looking to migrate to cloud services to verify the best partners by awarding the Azure Expert MSP to those who pass a rigorous accreditation program. Coretek, a 15-year-old managed services provider, recently announced it attained Microsoft Azure Expert Managed Service Provider (MSP) status for a fifth year.

The Azure Expert Managed Services Provider (MSP) program gives our the most capable Azure MSPs full support to help drive revenue for themselves and their customers. Partners chosen for the program must pass a time and cost-intensive auditing process, including validation of their skills, successful customer projects, their ability to scale, and their commitment to providing next-generation managed service offerings on Microsoft Azure.

Partners who offer full lifecycle managed services to customers can earn Azure Expert MSP status. Microsoft employs an independent third-party audit company to assess compliance against the Azure Expert MSP Audit requirements. The audit is a systematic, independent, and documented process for obtaining evidence and evaluating objectively to determine the extent to which audit criteria are met.

"Our teams are highly qualified and deeply experienced in Microsoft Azure technology,” said Clint Adkins, Microsoft Azure Practice Director for Coretek in a statement. “Our customers continue to reap the long-term benefits and competitive advantage that come along with partnering with a leading technology service provider. We are thrilled to continue to build on this success and support customers in the Azure space."

To learn more about how managed service providers can help companies improve their cloud strategy, plan to attend MSPEXPO, part of the #TECHSUPERSHOW series. MSPEXPO has been designed to help service providers understand how they can drive more recurring revenue, increase the valuation of their companies, grow, and protect their networks and deliver better customer service. It will also help companies looking for MSP partners to understand how MSPs can help them grow. The show will take place from February 8-11, 2022, at the Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. For more information or to register, visit the show website
