Fusion5 is delighted to announce that Microsoft has officially validated its status as an Advanced Specialisation partner for Windows Server and SQL Server migrations.

Microsoft established advanced specialisations to make it easier for customers to find and select the right partner for their needs. It is not an easy path to recognition though, and Fusion5 was required to meet stringent criteria around customer success and staff skilling, as well as pass a third-party audit of its migration practices.

With the achievement of the advanced specialisation, customers can be confident in Fusion5’s capability to deliver best-in-class specialised services in complex solution areas with Azure.

“Fusion5 has been helping organisations across Australia and New Zealand to leverage and maximise their investment in cloud infrastructure since the early days of Azure in Australia. We successfully migrated our first customer to the platform back when it launched in 2014."

“Achieving this specialisation tells companies who are looking to modernise their applications and embrace the business advantages of cloud computing, that we have the advanced skills to assess, plan, and migrate their existing workloads to the cloud."

“This huge achievement validates our considerable experience and credentials for cloud migrations, as well as recognising our investment in the Azure platform, and our strong partnership with Microsoft. I personally couldn’t be more stoked for our extremely talented Azure team across ANZ. The rapid and continued growth of our Azure practice only accelerates our ability to help more customers to activate and optimise Microsoft cloud services.”

"The Windows Server and SQL Server Migration to Microsoft Azure advanced specialisation is a validation of a solution partner’s deep knowledge, extensive experience and expertise in migrating Windows Server and SQL Server-based workloads to Azure. In achieving this, Fusion5 has demonstrated that they are a safe pair of hands and trusted advisors to customers embarking on their Azure journey."
