Telefónica Tech today announced it has earned the Analytics on Microsoft Azure advanced specialization, a validation of a partner’s capability in planning and delivering tailored analytics solutions, following Microsoft and industry best practices.

Only partners that meet stringent criteria around customer success and staff skilling, as well as pass a third-party audit of their analytics planning and deployment practices, are able to earn the Analytics on Microsoft Azure advanced specialization.

As more businesses recognise the value of effective data and analytics strategies and solutions but struggle to implement them, partners with proven experience in delivering Microsoft analytics solutions using Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Data Lake, Azure Data Factory, and Azure Databricks are well-positioned to capture this market opportunity.

These partners can help customers better integrate endlessly scalable analytics platforms into their businesses to quickly capture insights from all their data across data warehouses and big data analytics systems.

“We are thrilled to have earned the Analytics on Azure advanced specialisation. This was a real Telefónica Tech team effort and represents another milestone as a trusted and specialist partner, and our continued collaboration with Microsoft. This latest achievement evidences our extensive experience and proven success in assessing, designing, building, managing and evolving Analytics solutions on Azure for our customers”, said Martyn Bullerwell, VP, Data & AI at Telefónica Tech.

Rodney Clark, Corporate Vice President, Global Partner Solutions, Channel Sales and Channel Chief at Microsoft added, “The Analytics on Microsoft Azure advanced specialization highlights the partners who can be viewed as most capable when it comes to building transformative and secure analytics solutions on Azure. Telefónica Tech clearly demonstrated that they have both the skills and the experience to help our customers harness the power of insight and transform their businesses in a scalable, secure, and cost-effective way.”
