Prosperity 24/7 achieves a Channel Islands first with new Microsoft Azure accreditation

Prosperity 24/7, the leading Jersey headquartered technology and business consulting practice has become the only business in the Channel Islands to achieve the Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) specialisation.

This accreditation builds on Prosperity’s latest Microsoft Solutions Partner designation which they achieved earlier in 2024. The infrastructure designation achieved in February enables Prosperity 24/7’s Technical Solutions team to accelerate migration of their clients’ key technology infrastructure to Microsoft Azure in a reliable and scalable way.

The Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop specialisation demonstrates Prosperity24/7’s deep knowledge, extensive experience, and proven success in planning and deploying Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop for their clients. This specialisation distinguishes Prosperity24/7 from its competitors and, as a recognised Microsoft specialist, enables Prosperity24/7 to access go-to-market solutions on behalf of clients undertaking Azure migrations, providing them with expertise and financial assistance. This allows organisations to use the full breadth of Microsoft AVD to build transformative, secure virtual desktop solutions at scale, enabling them to be more efficient and productive.

For Microsoft Partners to achieve the specialisation, they need to go through a rigorous process including training team members to a high standard achieving certain Microsoft qualifications, compiling extensive evidence of expertise and examples of complex technical deployments as well as undergoing a comprehensive audit by Microsoft.

David Keiller, Microsoft Azure Business Manager from Prosperity’s distribution partner TD Synnex said, “Achieving a specialism in Azure Virtual Desktop is a fantastic achievement for Prosperity 24/7, it demonstrates a deep understanding of the solution and excellence in design, implementation, delivery and training to facilitate successful projects for AVD. It also puts Prosperity 24/7 in a select group of specialised partners who can unlock the full suite of additional benefits from Microsoft which really does make all the difference, It’s been a pleasure working with the team to support them with their journey to specialisation.”

Jake Foster, Chief Technology Officer at Prosperity 24/7, was delighted by the result. “Prosperity is one of only a handful of cloud service providers to achieve this specialisation across the UK and Europe and the first in the Channel Islands. This accomplishment reflects the tremendous amount of hard work, attention to detail, dedication and expertise demonstrated by the team. The auditor was impressed by the team’s exceptional work and their commitment to the process.”

Jake expressed his gratitude to the cloud team for consistently delivering solutions to clients at an exceptional standard. He highlighted their hard work and collaboration with Microsoft during the audit process.

This qualification makes us leaders in providing critical infrastructure for any organisation that is serious about modernising their working environment to enable growth and productivity. Prosperity continues to develop technology solutions that work the way that people work, solving everyday business challenges, so we can all prosper.”
