BTA member Function4 has officially earned the coveted designation of Microsoft Solutions Partner, a certification placing the company in the top 5% of all Microsoft providers worldwide. Over the years, Function4 has grown in popularity by consistently delivering customer experience and focusing on increasing the efficiency of the organizations it supports. One of the key ingredients to its success has been the company's superior technical expertise, which is clearly demonstrated by this recent achievement. This accolade underscores Function4's exceptional expertise, experience and commitment to helping customers leverage Microsoft technologies to their fullest potential.

This prestigious certification is not easily attained. There are various criteria including performance (revenue and usage growth), customer success (deployments and certifications) and skilled certifications (number of certified professionals on staff), in addition to various other factors. However, the most important factor is a proven track record of high customer satisfaction rates. Achieving this certification required Function4 to meet rigorous benchmarks, showcasing advanced knowledge and capabilities in cloud services, data management and infrastructure solutions. Microsoft awards the designation to providers that demonstrate this significant level of expertise, but also monitors them to ensure they consistently keep up to date with the latest technological developments in order to retain their status.

"Our designation as a Microsoft Solutions Partner reflects years of dedication to providing our customers with the best solutions," said Bill Patsouras, principal, Function4. "It means we're not just using Microsoft tools; we're maximizing their potential to help businesses succeed. Whether it's transitioning to the cloud with Microsoft Azure or creating more efficient systems with Office 365, we ensure our customers are getting the best value and the most effective solutions."

As a Solutions Partner, Function4 brings Azure Certified Architecture expertise to its customers, enabling them to adopt cloud technologies with confidence. By leveraging Azure's scalability, reliability and security, businesses can modernize their IT infrastructures, reduce costs and position themselves for future growth.

"Cloud technology is no longer a luxury; it's a necessity for businesses that want to stay competitive," Patsouras said. "Our certification gives our customers peace of mind knowing they're working with a partner who truly understands how to make Microsoft's tools work for them."

Businesses considering a move to the cloud or looking to improve their use of Microsoft tools can rely on Function4 for guidance. The company's Microsoft Solutions Partner designation signifies not only expertise but also a proven ability to deliver results that align with customers' strategic goals.
