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

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.
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.
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.
Our Premier Support status means we can escalate any issue directly to Microsoft, faster than a standard partner can.
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.
Since joining Transparity we haven’t had a single failure in our security checks. Having confidence in Transparity’s experts allows us to trust them and fully focus on developing the platform for our customers. Some of the people in Transparity count as my friends… if you need something quickly we always have someone to talk to.

Transparity supported us throughout what was a significant project – migrating our infrastructure from a data centre to Azure. From start to finish, every interaction was managed with the highest professionalism. Their deep expertise in Microsoft solutions was clear at every step, and the project was executed flawlessly, complete with comprehensive final documentation.
