Six Degrees Renews Microsoft Specialisations and Gains Solutions Partner for Security Designation

By renewing two Microsoft specialisations and gaining the Solutions Partner for Security designation, Six Degrees has demonstrated its commitment to using its deep technical expertise to benefit clients.

We are pleased to announce that Six Degrees has been awarded with renewed specialisations in Infra and Database Migration to Microsoft Azure and Calling for Microsoft Teams for another year. We have also gained a new Solutions Partner for Security designation.

The specialisations and designation demonstrate our commitment to holding deep technical expertise in these areas, backed by a demonstrable track record and our strategic relationship with Microsoft. Combined, they enable our clients to achieve more through secure, integrated cloud services.

Infra and Database Migration to Microsoft Azure

The Infra and Database Migration to Microsoft Azure specialisation demonstrates our expertise in migrating and optimising Windows Server and SQL Server-based workloads, and production workloads running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) or SUSE virtual machines, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, CassandraDB, or MongoDB databases to Microsoft Azure.

This specialisation has a high bar to achieve, with not many partners being able to renew in the new format. It means at Six Degrees we can assist our clients with migrating their Windows and open-source workloads to Azure, all using one partner.

Calling for Microsoft Teams

The Calling for Microsoft Teams specialisation provides a means for partners to showcase proven success and extensive expertise in deploying Microsoft 365 Phone System.  The specialisation, combined with our Operator Connect presence and Solutions Partner designation in Modern Work, demonstrates our expertise and deep integration with Microsoft 365, allowing our clients to make the most of their Microsoft Cloud investments.

Solutions Partner for Security

In order to earn our Solutions Partner for Security designation we had to demonstrate success across performance, skilling, and client success. As a Solutions Partner for Security, Six Degrees demonstrates its broad capability to help clients safeguard their entire organisations with integrated security, compliance, and identity solutions.

What Does This Mean for our Clients?

As a Microsoft partner, gaining Microsoft specialisations and Solutions Partner designations brings several benefits to Six Degrees that we pass on to clients:

• Specialisations aligned to the Microsoft solution areas recognise our broad technical capabilities and demonstrated success delivering technology solutions.
• Benefits aligned to our Solutions Partner designation include product benefits, go to market services, co sell eligibility, skilling, and sales enablement resources, making it easier for clients to buy Microsoft solutions from us.
• Designations further validate deep technical expertise after we attain a Solutions Partner designation, giving our clients reassurance that we are well placed to maximise their Microsoft investments.

What’s Next?

At Six Degrees we never stand still when it comes to our partnerships, and we will work to attain further specialisations which align to our core capabilities. Right now we have Azure Expert MSP, Calling for Microsoft Teams, and Infra and Database Migration to Microsoft Azure specialisations, along with Solutions Partner for Data and AI (Azure), Infrastructure, Modern Work, and Security designations, but there are plenty more for us to achieve.

By constantly evolving our technical capabilities, we ensure we are able to deliver the best possible secure cloud services to our clients. If you would like to learn more, feel free to contact us.
