Azure Expert MSP and Microsoft CSP Provider

Microsoft created the Azure Expert MSP programme to identify managed service providers capable of delivering the full Azure cloud lifecycle — from strategy and migration through to optimisation and ongoing management.

Achieving it isn’t straightforward. It requires a time-intensive, third-party audit of your skills, processes, and delivery track record. Then you have to pass it again every year.

We’ve held Azure Expert MSP status annually since 2022. Here’s what that means for you

The benefits of working with an Azure Expert MSP

Expert-level service

When you work with Transparity, you get real Azure expertise from day one. We’ll kick things off with an Azure readiness assessment and hands‑on workshops to help you map out exactly how to get full value from Azure, from best‑practice adoption and hybrid operating models to tightening up your security and optimising your environment.

Migration & Modernisation funding

The Azure Migration and Modernisation Program is a pot of Microsoft funding you can only access through Azure Expert MSPs or partners with Azure Advanced Specialisations — like us. It’s built around the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF), so everything follows best practice and sets you up for a smooth, successful migration from day one.

Inclusive support services

We’ll guide you through your cloud migration from start to finish, making sure everything aligns with Microsoft best practice — from the initial strategy right through to execution and beyond. And because our customers are at the centre of everything we do, you’ll get ongoing, inclusive support plus access to our Training and Adoption Portal (TAP), designed to help your team get confident and stay successful in the cloud.

Priority Microsoft support

Our Premier Support status means we can escalate any issue directly to Microsoft, faster than a standard partner can.

A direct line to Microsoft

We work with Microsoft closely every day. We can connect you to the right Microsoft account manager, specialist, or support team and maintain that three-way relationship throughout your engagement.

I have worked with Transparity for a number of years now and I am always impressed with how they deliver projects. Once we have worked on the requirements with them, they just get their side done and keep us updated. The recent tenant migration was seamless, and we knew were in safe hands from project start to delivery.

Transparity supported us throughout what was a significant project – migrating our infrastructure from a data centre to Azure.
