On August 4, 2020, Microsoft honored its top-performing partners globally, including Cloud Productivity Solutions (CPS), a Kenyan IT company, at the 2020 Microsoft Inspire awards.
The annual awards recognize partners demonstrating excellence in innovation and implementation of customer solutions based on Microsoft technology.
"As a company, we have always believed in bringing technology closer to those who need it most, allowing everyone to ultimately achieve more," said Ibrahim Youssry, General Manager at Microsoft Middle East and Africa Emerging Markets.
CPS was selected based on their commitment to customers, the impact of their solutions, and the exemplary use of Microsoft technologies.
The company has continued to build specific bundles for Teams that push consumption and help customers lower costs. They have also expanded their operations, opening an office in Uganda that is fully resourced and driving great customer initiatives on the ground.
Other winners from the continent include Salt Essential IT from Namibia and Cloudware from Ghana.
Microsoft introduced 10 new categories this year, including the first-ever Community Response Award, which recognizes partners that have made a great difference in solving problems for customers and communities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
