The Azure Expert MSP program is designed by Microsoft to identify and validate partners with proven capabilities in delivering end-to-end Azure services at scale. To qualify, partners must meet a strict set of requirements and undergo an independent audit assessing their technical capabilities, process maturity, and customer success in managing complex Azure environments.
Reply successfully completed Microsoft’s rigorous qualification process, reaffirming strong expertise across multiple Solutions Partner designations – including Data & AI, Digital & App Innovation, and Infrastructure. The renewal was also secured through the contribution of certified Azure specialists and by passing a stringent third-party audit, with both pre-audit and on-site assessments, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
