Softline, a digital transformation and cybersecurity provider, completed a progress audit in December of 2020 to retain its Microsoft Azure Expert Managed Service Provider (MSP) status for the second year in a row.
Softline continuously invests in people, processes, operations, and technology to enable successful deployment, operations, and scale of business-critical applications on Azure efficiently and seamlessly to support the customer cloud journey and transformation of their organizations. Softline developed a unique cloud management platform built on the latest technologies as part of this investment. This is a major differentiator when providing support to enterprises with world-class, cloud-managed services.
