The Microsoft Country Partner of the Year Awards honour partners at a country level that have demonstrated business excellence in delivering Microsoft solutions to customers over the past year. This award recognises Intervate as the South African Microsoft partner that has developed solutions showcasing innovation and business impact, by providing outstanding value for customers.
