One of a select group of Microsoft Partners worldwide to be recognised with the Solutions Partner – Microsoft Cloud designation, for demonstrated expertise, experience, and customer outcomes across Microsoft’s portfolio of cloud technologies.

The bar for Microsoft Partners raised when Microsoft retired dozens of Silver and Gold Competencies in 2022. With new Microsoft Solutions Partner designations much harder to achieve, Microsoft Partners like Rapid Circle need to demonstrate real performance to differentiate. 

Today we are pleased to announce that Rapid Circle has achieved the highest tier of partner recognition in the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program.  Recognised as a Solutions Partner across all six solution areas – Azure Data & AI, Azure Digital & App Innovation, Azure Cloud Infrastructure, Business Applications, Modern Work, and Security. 

As a result, Rapid Circle has also achieved the premier Microsoft partner designation “Solutions Partner – Microsoft Cloud.”  Ultimately demonstrating Rapid Circle’s experience, expertise, and ability to deliver outcomes across Azure, Microsoft 365, Power Platform and Dynamics. 

“Every day our team help our customers to achieve what’s next – by creating impact with the Microsoft Cloud. To match the increasing needs of our customers, Microsoft also raised the bar for their partners like Rapid Circle, with higher expectations across skills, deployment of cloud technologies, and real-world customer outcomes”

“I am proud of Rapid Circle’s team of Cloud Pioneers, who have been able to meet, and exceed those increased expectations. And thankful for our customers who continue to partner with us to unlock real value from Microsoft’s AI infused Cloud platforms”  

Harold Punter – Chief Executive Officer, Rapid Circle
