On August 6, 2020, Microsoft honored Kenyan IT company Cloud Productivity Solutions (CPS) as one of the few African companies recognized during the 2020 Microsoft Inspire awards.
The awards recognize partners demonstrating excellence in innovation and implementation of customer solutions based on Microsoft technology.
Selected based on their commitment to customers, the impact of their solutions, and the exemplary use of Microsoft technologies, all winners have played a crucial role in cultivating and sustaining the powerful ecosystem as part of Microsoft's greater mission on the continent.
"As a company, we have always believed in bringing technology closer to those who need it most, allowing everyone to ultimately achieve more," says Ibrahim Youssry, General Manager at Microsoft Middle East and Africa Emerging Markets.
Having won the Global Teamwork Partner of the Year at last year's ceremony for their phenomenal work on Teams, CPS has continued to deliver exceptional results, transforming customers not only on Teams but also in security.
The company has also continued to build specific bundles for Teams that push consumption and help customers lower costs. Additionally, CPS expanded its operations this year by 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, who were recognized for their commitment to Microsoft and their impact on customers.
