Redruth based Piran Technologies has achieved Microsoft Gold competency, recognising the business as one of the most specialist providers of Microsoft products in Cornwall.

Microsoft Gold status is the highest level of the Microsoft Partner Programme, and acknowledges the company as one of Microsoft's most highly accredited technical software and support providers in the region.

The company has successfully accomplished 30 per cent year-on-year growth in Microsoft Office 365 and Azure sales and support, as well as reported levels of high customer satisfaction.

Daniel Pugh, managing director, said: “This achievement is a fantastic accolade, and the highest level a company can obtain from Microsoft.

"By attaining Gold Status, we have met extensive technology requirements and demonstrated expertise through rigorous exams, culminating in Microsoft certifications.

"Our skills, support, and knowledge have been tested and proven by successful implementations in specific technology areas.”

Alex Pugh, company director, said: “This status could not have been achieved without the help of dedicated team of engineers who undertook a number of technical exams to demonstrate their level of knowledge in Microsoft products.”

Gold Partnership with Microsoft will allow Piran’s customers to receive early access to new software and specialised technical support and services from Microsoft.
