OutReach - 20 January 2021 – Cloud Comrade was announced a
winner in the Rising Star category at
the 2020 Microsoft Singapore Partner of the Year Awards. Held virtually for the
first time, the annual event is a
prestigious occasion to celebrate and reward Microsoft partners in Singapore
who have demonstrated unique excellence
in innovation, driving transformation, and competitive differentiation in the delivery of customer
solutions leveraging Microsoft technology.

Singapore Rising Star Partner of the Year Award is a new category introduced
to recognise a Partner that has excelled
in delivering outstanding business value and revenue growth; or has demonstrated ability to successfully
migrate their customers into Microsoft solutions. 

Since its inception in 2014, Cloud

strengthening their cloud capabilities. The company joined the Microsoft Partner Network in 2017, and
subsequently became a Microsoft Managed Partner in 2019. In the past one and half years, the
company has been steadily growing its Azure competency. Their efforts were lauded by Microsoft in
2020, where they clinched the Gold Cloud Platform competency. To date, the company has attained
over 50 Azure certifications. 

Commenting on the win, Andy Waroma,
Cloud Comrade’s co-founder and co-managing director, said, “We are thrilled and honoured to win
the Microsoft Singapore Rising Star Partner of the Year Award. It was a challenging year for many of
our joint customers but together with Microsoft, we were able to overcome those challenges and
help our customers to achieve their objectives. We are thankful to the Microsoft Singapore partner
team who supported and encouraged us to achieve greater success in 2020. This accolade underscores Cloud Comrade’s
commitment to deliver innovative and
customised best-in-class solutions to support customers’ digital
transformation efforts and help them stay
ahead of their game.”

Awards were presented for 19

finalists and winners were selected based on their solution’s positive business impact, their
commitment to creating exceptional customer experiences, the strategic value and high impact of their solution on
the market, as well as their exemplary
use of Microsoft technologies.

“In a year riddled with challenges
and economic uncertainties, it is more important than ever that companies are able to innovate and digitally
transform to future-proof their businesses. Partners who have worked with us to empower our
customers to thrive amidst the chaos of 2020 receive due recognition, and we are pleased to
