Spanish Point Has Earned the Windows Server and SQL Server Migration to Microsoft Azure Advanced Specialization

Ireland – March 25, 2021 – Spanish Point Technologies today announced it has earned the Windows Server and SQL Server Migration to Microsoft Azure advanced specialization, a validation of a solution partner’s deep knowledge, extensive experience and expertise in migrating Windows Server and SQL Server-based workloads to Azure.

Only partners that meet stringent criteria around customer success and staff skilling, as well as pass a third-party audit of their migration practices, are able to earn the Windows Server and SQL Server Migration to Azure advanced specialization.

As companies look to modernize their applications and take full advantage of the benefits that cloud computing can deliver, and with the recent end-of-support for Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008 R2, they are looking for a partner with advanced skills to assess, plan, and migrate their existing workloads to the cloud.

Donal Cullen, Spanish Point CEO and Co-founder said, “We have helped migrate over 60 ISVs and numerous other organisations to Microsoft Azure. This experience coupled with our continuing investment in our Azure Cloud engineers has enabled us to achieve this advanced specialization. We are proud of our cloud engineers and customers that continue to work with us.”

Gavriella Schuster, Corporate Vice President, One Commercial Partner (OCP) at Microsoft Corp. added, “The Windows Server and SQL Server Migration to Microsoft Azure advanced specialization highlights the partners who can be viewed as most capable when it comes to migrating Windows-based workloads over to Azure. Spanish Point clearly demonstrated that they have both the skills and the experience to offer clients a path to successful migration so that they can start enjoying the benefits of being in the cloud.”
