Kascade achieves Microsoft Solutions Partner Designation for Data & AI

We’re delighted to share some great news: Kascade has officially been awarded the Microsoft Solutions Partner designation for Data & AI (Azure). It’s a fantastic achievement for our whole team, and one we’ve worked hard for.

This is our fourth Microsoft Solutions Partner designation, joining Security, Modern Work and Infrastructure (Azure). That means we now hold four of the six designations Microsoft offers, something we’re really proud of.

What does this designation mean?

Microsoft doesn’t hand this designation out lightly. To earn it, we had to prove our people hold the right certifications in Azure data and AI, that we’ve delivered real, successful projects for real clients, and that our performance has held up over time, not just in a single good quarter.

Microsoft checks all of this before awarding the designation, and keeps checking afterwards. So it’s not a one-off badge we picked up and can forget about. We have to keep investing in our people and keep proving ourselves to clients to hold on to it.

In short, it’s Microsoft’s way of vouching for us: this is a partner that knows Azure data and AI inside out, and can be trusted to get it right.

Why it matters for you

For our clients, this designation is a sign of a few things.

First, it shows that data and AI aren’t an afterthought for us. They’re central to how we help you get more value from your Microsoft investment. Second, it means our teams are trained to the latest standards Microsoft sets, so you can trust the advice and solutions we deliver. And third, it gives us early access to new Microsoft capabilities, which we can bring to you sooner rather than later.

Whether you’re looking to modernise your data estate, make better use of AI, or simply get more value from the data you already have, this designation means we’re well placed to help you get there.

A milestone worth celebrating

Reaching four of Microsoft’s six Solutions Partner designations doesn’t happen by accident. It reflects years of investment in our people, our certifications and our client relationships.

Achieving this designation is a real testament to the hard work our team has put in over the past year. It means our clients can be confident they’re working with a partner who genuinely understands data and AI on Azure, not just in theory, but in practice. We’re proud of what we’ve built so far, and even more excited about what’s next.

We’re not stopping here. With four designations now under our belt, we’re already working towards the next milestone, because helping our clients get the most from Microsoft’s technology is what drives us every day.
