| minute read

Paris, October 7, 2024 - Sopra Steria, a major player in the European tech sector, today announced that it has once again earned the title of Microsoft Azure Expert Managed Service Provider. This certification confirms the Group's deep expertise in all Azure services and its ability to support its clients at every stage of their digital transformation to the Cloud.

Renewing the Azure Expert MSP certification for the third consecutive time strengthens Sopra Steria's collaboration with Microsoft and reaffirms Sopra Steria's commitment to maintaining the highest standards of Azure services for its clients.

Azure Expert MSP is a program that connects clients and Microsoft teams to highly qualified Azure managed service providers, specifically selected to meet the unique needs of businesses. It aims to identify and highlight the most competent partners, specializing in Azure services and recognized expertise in service management to provide business solutions to their clients.

This program distinguishes MSPs that have passed a rigorous external audit of their IT service management capabilities, ensuring consistent, repeatable, and reliable managed services on Azure. The audit evaluates automation, operations (Dev-Ops) and SysOps, Cloud architecture, and technology consulting, aiming to optimize operational performance and facilitate large-scale Cloud deployments.

Xavier Pecquet, member of Sopra Steria's Executive Committee in charge of key accounts and partnerships, commented: "We are proud to be recognized once again as a Microsoft Azure Expert Managed Service Provider. This distinction reaffirms Sopra Steria's commitment to Cloud transformation through tailored, modern, and compliant Azure services that meet the highest standards. This recognition also underscores the commitment of Sopra Steria teams to delivering a holistic method for executing digital strategies that boost customer engagement, streamline operations and services, and increase employee productivity," 

A comprehensive approach to Cloud support

Sopra Steria offers a comprehensive approach to help companies fully leverage the cloud, whether private, public, hybrid, or sovereign. Its strategy revolves around several axes:

  • Adaptable Cloud Ops services to the client's maturity, ranging from traditional industrial management (Mode 1) to DevOps and NoOps operations for cloud-native applications (Mode 2).
  • Managed Platform Services based on market-leading technologies to meet specific needs in IaaS and PaaS.
  • A public cloud service offering, covering strategy, design, migration, and optimization, with a focus on innovation (AI, IoT, etc.).
  • Expertise in multi-cloud management, 24/7 security, and cost optimization (FinOps).

The ambition is to offer a flexible and comprehensive approach, allowing clients to modernize their infrastructures while optimizing their performance and costs.
