Bluecube Cloud Services has achieved Microsoft Solutions Partner for Modern Work designation, recognising our proven expertise in delivering modern workplace solutions. Awarded to partners that demonstrate strong performance, technical capability, and customer success, the designation validates our investment in Microsoft 365, Teams, Security, Copilot, and modern work technologies. For our customers, it provides independent assurance that they are working with a Microsoft-recognised expert.
What Is a Microsoft Solutions Partner for Modern Work?
The Microsoft Solutions Partner programme is designed to help customers identify technology providers that consistently deliver successful Microsoft solutions.
To achieve the Modern Work designation, Microsoft’s assessment framework measures partners across three key categories:
1. Performance
Microsoft assesses a partner’s ability to win new Microsoft customers and grow adoption of Microsoft technologies.
2. Skilling
Microsoft evaluates the technical expertise within the partner organisation. This requires recognised Microsoft certifications and advanced technical qualifications across the team.
3. Customer Success
Microsoft examines how successfully partners deploy and support Microsoft solutions, including usage growth, deployments, and adoption of Microsoft technologies across their customer base.
The result is a score out of 100.
Why Only a Few IT Providers Achieve This Status
Many IT companies sell Microsoft licences. Less than 2% achieve Microsoft’s Solutions Partner designation. Our research indicates that only 2 other companies in Lincolnshire, where our HQ is based, have this designation.
The key difference is that Microsoft is not simply measuring sales volume. The programme requires a combination of technical expertise, customer adoption, deployment success, certifications, and ongoing performance.
In practical terms, this means an IT provider must demonstrate that:
- Their team possesses recognised Microsoft skills
- Their customers actively use Microsoft technologies
- Deployments are successful
- Customers achieve measurable outcomes
- The business continues to invest in Microsoft capability
This creates a significant barrier to entry and is one reason why relatively few managed service providers achieve and maintain the designation.
For customers looking for an IT partner, this makes the designation an important independent indicator of competence rather than simply a marketing claim.
Why This Makes a Difference to Bluecube Customers
The most important question is not what this means for us but what this means for you.
Confidence Your Are Working with Proven Experts
Every IT company claims to be knowledgeable about Microsoft products. Our designation provides external validation from Microsoft itself.
The award confirms that Bluecube has demonstrated the skills, knowledge, customer success, and deployment capability required to meet Microsoft’s standards.
Better Guidance and Strategic Advice
Technology changes rapidly.
The rise of AI, Microsoft Copilot, hybrid working, cyber security requirements, device management, and data protection means businesses need more than just IT support.
They need strategic guidance.
By continuously investing in certifications, training, and Microsoft expertise, our customers benefit from advice that aligns closely with Microsoft’s technology roadmap.
Stronger Security Outcomes
Modern Work is not just about productivity.
It is also about creating a secure modern workplace.
Many of the areas that contributed towards our designation include Business Premium deployment, identity security, device management, and modern workplace security practices.
That means customers gain access to expertise that helps reduce cyber risk while improving productivity.
Greater Return on Microsoft Investments
Most businesses do not fully utilise the Microsoft licences they already pay for. One of Microsoft’s key measurements is customer adoption and usage growth.
As a recognised Solutions Partner, our focus is helping customers gain maximum value from technologies such as:
- Microsoft 365
- Microsoft Teams
- SharePoint
- OneDrive
- Microsoft Intune
- Microsoft Copilot
- Business Premium
- Windows 11
The goal is simple: ensure you get full value from the platforms you are already investing in.
Recognised Microsoft Expertise Across Lincolnshire and Beyond
Bluecube has grown significantly over recent years, supporting organisations throughout Lincoln, Lincolnshire, the East Midlands, East Anglia, and the wider corridor into London.
Achieving Microsoft Solutions Partner for Modern Work status places us among a select group of organisations that have successfully met Microsoft’s rigorous standards.
For businesses across Lincolnshire, this means you no longer need to look to large national providers based hundreds of miles away to access recognised Microsoft expertise.
You can work with a local partner that understands your business, understands your challenges, and has achieved formal recognition from Microsoft.
Whether you are looking to improve cyber security, deploy Microsoft Copilot, modernise your workplace, support hybrid working, enhance collaboration, or maximise your Microsoft 365 investment, you can do so with confidence knowing your technology strategy is backed by a recognised Microsoft Solutions Partner.
Looking Ahead
Achieving the designation is a major milestone, but it is only the beginning.
Microsoft requires partners to continue demonstrating customer success, technical excellence, and ongoing development in order to retain their status.
Our commitment is to continue investing in our people, our certifications, and our Microsoft expertise so that our customers continue to receive the highest standards of support, guidance, and innovation.
This recognition confirms what our customers already know:
Bluecube is more than an IT support provider. We are a trusted Microsoft technology partner helping organisations across Lincolnshire and the South East work smarter, stay secure, and get more from technology.
