Oak Brook, IL (PRWEB) July 20, 2017 -- SWC Technology Partners, an award-winning provider of IT solutions to mid-market organizations throughout the Midwest, has been named 2017 SMB Midwest Partner of the Year by Microsoft. SWC was recognized for their ability to help customers leverage cloud technologies to enable innovation and business transformation in Microsoft’s Central region.
A Microsoft Gold Partner, SWC leads the Midwest with 16 Microsoft competencies including Gold Cloud Platform, Cloud Productivity and Gold Midmarket Solution Provider. Microsoft received over 2,800 nominations from 115 countries for their annual partner awards.
“SWC Technology Partners’ continued focus on delivering business value via the Microsoft cloud is what makes them a premier partner for our mutual customers in the mid-market,” said Brent Combest, General Manager of Microsoft Central Region SMB&D. “Their ability to stay on the cutting edge of digital transformation and help clients navigate the ever-changing landscape of modern workplace technology is in direct alignment with Microsoft’s vision. SWC’s proven techniques for leveraging the Microsoft cloud to decrease cost, decrease risk, and increase revenue have made them more than worthy of this honor from Microsoft - and worthy of the trust of our shared customers to help them achieve success.”
The award was presented at Microsoft Inspire 2017, held from July 9th to 13th, 2017 at Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. Formerly called Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference, this five-day event is Microsoft’s largest annual gathering of channel partners, and set the backdrop for several key announcements from Microsoft.
