The collana Group has achieved a milestone that few Microsoft partners can boast: as a group of companies, it now holds all six Microsoft Solutions Partner designations and thus also holds the status of „Microsoft Solutions Partner for Microsoft Cloud“.
What’s behind it?
The Microsoft Solutions Partner designations are not a self-assessment, but an externally validated statement of quality and expertise. They are based on measurable criteria: certified staff, proven project successes, technical depth and continuous professional development. The six standard designations cover the entire Microsoft solutions landscape – from Business Applications through to Azure, Power Platform and Security, right through to AI & Copilot and Modern Work.

Strength lies in the group
Behind this status lies the combined expertise of ten specialist subsidiaries. Each has its own area of specialisation and its own target groups. This results in a reach that hardly any single company could match.
