Following our recent success in winning the Microsoft Partner of the Year Education 2015, I'm once again very proud to announce that we have also been named FINALIST - Cloud Partner 2015 EMEA Region by the International Association of Microsoft Channel Partners (IAMCP). It is fantastic that our work and innovation has been recognised across the range of sectors we work in, from Corporate, to Government, to Charities and of course Education.
The IAMCP Cloud Partner award recognises 'impressive solutions and services that have been delivered by IAMCP members'. I'd like to thank everyone in the IAM Cloud team for your tireless efforts and awesome achievements. Keep up the excellent work!

Who participates in the IAMCP Community?
The IAMCP is a community of proactive and highly engaged Microsoft partners, in a community who employs 15 million people overall and generates $580 billion in global economic activity. One priority for the IAMCP for many years has been around peer partnerships. It is estimated that each year the IAMCP network engages in $10.1 billion USD of partner-to-partner transaction activity. The partnerships these companies establish also makes them have increased business agility and perform better financially. Better business results are achieved by partnering - each dollar spent on partnering resources generates $2 - $8 in gross revenues. [Source: Corelytics, Inc, 2011]
Microsoft Partners that are part of the IAMCP community typically enjoy significantly higher revenues and higher margins than their counterparts outside of the community. Members benefit from P2P relationships with other trusted members to generate these higher margins and deliver exceptional solutions and services to their customers.
The IAMCP Member Awards Program
This year, IAMCP launched a brand new Awards programme for its members. Through this program, the IAMCP recognises its own Association members for the outstanding, innovative and creative products and services that they deliver to their customers. Members who choose to participate in the process have an opportunity to be recognized, and have their profile elevated, both at local and corporate level inside of Microsoft. In addition, winners and finalists will benefit from increased recognition through press and social media. Winners attending the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference 2015 will receive their awards at a special ceremony to be held during WPC, which this year is being held in Orlando, Florida, USA from July 12th -16th.
