We are thrilled to announce that Rapid Circle has won the Worldwide Microsoft Partner of the Year award for the fifth time. Selected from over 4,700 nominations, Rapid Circle was chosen in the ‘Modern Work’ category for its work with customers on Microsoft Copilot and Microsoft Viva. The worldwide awards are given annually to partners who have distinguished themselves within the vast partner landscape, making a difference for customers and achieving business transformation. This year, AI and Copilot were, of course, central themes.

Harold Punter, co-founder, and CEO: “I am very proud, not only because we are winning this prestigious award for the fifth time but also because we have been recognized for the eleventh consecutive year in the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Awards. This remarkable milestone demonstrates Rapid Circle’s consistent commitment to staying ahead and delivering a five-star experience every time, worthy of being a case study. Therefore, I want to thank our customers and Microsoft Netherlands for the collaboration through which we have been able to make a real impact with the Microsoft cloud and based on AI and Copilot. As far as we know, very few European Microsoft partners have managed to win the award five times. This is a significant recognition, especially for my colleagues, our team, and for acknowledging the value their work has had for our customers.”

Kat Olsen, Solution Specialist for Adoption and Change Management: “The recognition in the Modern Work category: ‘Employee Experience’ highlights Rapid Circle’s deep understanding of the changing needs of people and modern work environments, especially in this era where Copilot is taking center stage. We provide organizations with the tools and technologies that promote collaboration, boost productivity, and enhance employee engagement. From equipping leaders to think and act with a more digital mindset to supporting the introduction of a lifecycle approach to employee experiences using elements of Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft 365, and Viva, we have helped numerous customers transform their employee experiences, leading to higher satisfaction, retention, and overall business success.”

“Congratulations to the winners and finalists of the 2024 Microsoft Partner of the Year Awards! The momentum generated by numerous AI & Copilot announcements this year fueled innovation from our partners, enabling groundbreaking services and solutions to customers. I am inspired by the capability and creativity in our partner ecosystem and this year’s winners beautifully demonstrate the best of what’s possible with AI and the Microsoft Cloud.”
