The Microsoft Partner of the Year Awards recognizes Microsoft partners that have developed and delivered outstanding Microsoft Cloud applications, services, devices, and AI innovation during the past year. Awards were classified in various categories, with honorees chosen from 4,700-plus nominations from more than 100 countries. BlueVoyant was recognized for providing outstanding solutions and services in cybersecurity worldwide, and in the U.S., and Canada.
