Double win as Columbus is named 2016 Microsoft
Dynamics UK Partner of the Year
International consultancy, Columbus is delighted to announce it has been named as the 2016 Microsoft Dynamics Partner of the Year for the UK. This is in addition to the announcement in June when the company was named 2016 Global Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Partner of the Year.
The award was presented to Mary Hunter, Managing Director of Columbus UK, at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference (WPC) which was held July 10-14 in Toronto, Canada. To be singled out by Microsoft for their Dynamics UK Partner of the Year award as well as the Microsoft Global ERP Partner of the Year is a colossal endorsement and a fitting acknowledgment of the talent and dedication of the Columbus team.
On the double award win, Mary Hunter commented: “This award is for every employee in Columbus who strives every day to help businesses gain a competitive advantage through their Dynamics solution. Columbus is committed to transforming businesses in the digital world, mitigating the risks of the ERP implementations and leading our customers for life. I am delighted and very proud that we have been recognised by Microsoft with this prestigious award.”
WPC was attended by 20,000 partners from around the world. One of the big themes this year is the speed of digital transformation. Areas like Cloud, IoT, Big Data and Servitization are driving rapid change through the industries Columbus serve and in today’s hyper-competitive world, having the ability to change fast is vital to success.
“We help our customers leverage ERP technology to
digitally transform their business and enhance the service they provide to
their customers, which in turn, increases loyalty and secures long term
business growth. We are perfectly positioned to collaborate with our
customers and maximise their productivity using the latest technology, as the
IT world enters a new era.” Mary Hunter concluded.
