We’re proud to be one of Microsoft’s first designated support partners worldwide

Overview

We’re thrilled to share that bluesource has officially passed Microsoft’s rigorous audit to achieve the Microsoft Support Services Designation becoming a key global partner to earn this recognition. 

A Milestone Partnership with Microsoft 

As an early and trusted Microsoft Partner, this achievement reinforces our deep collaboration and commitment to delivering world-class, Microsoft-aligned support. This designation formally recognises us as an accredited Microsoft Support Partner, trusted to provide high-quality, consistent, and expert services on behalf of Microsoft. 

Building on Independent Recognition 

This accomplishment comes in addition to our recognition by Gartner as a third-party provider for Microsoft Support, further validating our expertise and reputation in delivering premium, customer-centric support solutions. Together, these acknowledgements highlight bluesource’s unique position at the forefront of Microsoft ecosystem support excellence. 

What This Means for Our Customers 
  • Global leadership: We are among a select group of partners worldwide to achieve this designation. 
  • Microsoft-certified excellence: Our successful audit reflects our proven capability to meet Microsoft’s highest standards for service delivery. 
  • Confidence and trust: Customers can rely on bluesource for support services backed by Microsoft’s confidence and global framework. 

 

“Proud to share that bluesource has achieved Microsoft’s new Support Partner accreditation — a recognition that reflects the depth of our technical capability, our commitment to excellence, and the strength of our partnership with Microsoft. This isn’t just a badge; it’s the result of a rigorous audit process that sets us apart in the market. It reinforces our role in helping customers maximise their Microsoft investments and stay aligned with Microsoft’s evolving roadmap.” 

John Forde, bluesource UK Managing Director

Official Recognition at Microsoft Ignite 

This announcement came at the recent Support Services Designation at Microsoft Ignite in the session: 
The Future of Partner Support – Customer + Partner + Microsoft 
Thursday, November 20 
7:00 PM – 7:45 PM GMT 

Several years ago, Microsoft introduced Unified Support, a transformative model that redefined how comprehensive support is delivered across all Microsoft products and cloud services. Now, this next chapter, Unified for Partners, brings that same level of excellence to CSP partners serving SME & C customers at scale, powered by the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program and this new Support Services Designation. 

Looking Ahead 

This is just the beginning. As one of Microsoft’s inaugural designated partners, we’re proud to help shape the future of support, driving innovation, building customer success, and delivering trusted services together with Microsoft.
