Telefónica Tech is proud to announce that, for the 7th year in a row, we have been awarded the prestigious Microsoft AI Business Solutions Inner Circle award.

This recognition places us once again within the top 1% of Microsoft AI Business Solutions partners worldwide, reflecting the expertise, dedication, and customer-first approach of our people.

What is the Microsoft Inner Circle?

The Microsoft Inner Circle honours the most strategic partners globally who demonstrate exceptional innovation, strong customer outcomes, and outstanding performance across Microsoft AI Business Solutions. Membership grants exclusive access to Microsoft leadership, early insights into product innovation, and opportunities to influence Microsoft’s strategic direction.

For our customers, this means earlier access to Microsoft AI-powered solutions, priority support, and a trusted partner who can accelerate results and reduce risk.

Our commitment to customer impact

Andrew Falconer, VP UK&I Business Applications said:

“At a time when technology’s influence on every industry has never been greater, being recognised by Microsoft for a seventh consecutive year highlights the real impact we are delivering for our customers.

“Whether it’s harnessing AI and automation for competitive advantage, overcoming the challenges of legacy platforms, or rethinking business models for the future, our focus is on enabling organisations to unlock their full potential. This award is also fantastic recognition of our talented team, who continue to go above and beyond to solve our customers’ most complex problems.”

John Doris, UK&I Sales Director, Business Applications added:

“We’re incredibly proud to be awarded Microsoft Inner Circle status for the 7th consecutive year. This achievement reflects the expertise and commitment of our people, who consistently deliver value and outcomes for our customers.

“Inner Circle membership, awarded to fewer than 1% of Microsoft partners worldwide, gives us unique advantages: early access to Microsoft innovations, priority support, and exclusive programmes that accelerate results and reduce risk. Most importantly, it provides a direct line to Microsoft leadership, ensuring our customers’ needs influence the direction of future solutions.

“With our deep expertise in Business Applications and the latest Agentic AI solutions, we’re helping organisations transform how they operate, empower their people, and achieve new levels of efficiency and intelligence. Partnering with us means working with one of Microsoft’s most trusted global partners, fully committed to keeping you ahead.”
