Excellent work should never go unnoticed.

Each year, we celebrate the great work of our regional partners through the Microsoft Asia Pacific Region Partner of the Year Awards.

In the last year, as businesses and communities embarked on their paths to post-pandemic recovery and innovation-powered growth, Microsoft partners have been key enablers.

2022 was also the year we unveiled the Microsoft Cloud Partner Program – an important milestone in the evolution of our continued partnership as we find new ways to meet customers’ emerging needs and deliver customer success together.

The program also aligns with the digital imperatives of our customers as they leverage the Microsoft Cloud to migrate to the cloud, empower fusion teams, unify data and apply artificial intelligence (AI) models, implement collaborative business processes, and prioritize security.

With this customer-first approach, we anchored this year’s awards with the six new solution area categories – Data & AI (Azure), Infrastructure (Azure), Digital & App Innovation (Azure), Business Applications, Modern Work and Security.

Keeping our fingers on the pulse of what truly matters to our customers is critical. Just as they turned to technology to amplify what they can do more – with less – amid historic constraints and challenges, they will once again turn to technology as a critical business differentiator in the years ahead.

Earlier this year, I renewed our invitation to our partners to engage more deeply with Microsoft and take advantage of co-selling and upskilling opportunities as we continue to invest in and empower Microsoft partners to grow and become more relevant to our customers than before.

Microsoft partners make more possible.
