Kerv achieves all six Microsoft Solution Partner designations and becomes a Solutions Partner for Microsoft Cloud

We’ve got some brilliant news to share. Kerv has officially achieved all six Microsoft Solution Partner designations, which means we’re now recognised as a Solutions Partner for Microsoft Cloud. It’s a big moment for us, but most importantly, it’s something that brings real value to our customers.

What this means for our customers

Achieving all six Microsoft Solution Partner designations sets Kerv apart and ensures our customers benefit from specialist expertise. As one of very few UK partners who hold all six, here’s how it makes a difference for you:

You can trust the expertise behind every engagement.

These designations reflect proven delivery, meaningful customer impact and deep technical capability across Microsoft’s full ecosystem. When you work with Kerv, you’re working with people who know this technology inside out.

You get the benefit of six specialist practices working as one.

Our teams are experts in their individual areas, but they also collaborate across disciplines. That means less friction, more joined‑up thinking and solutions that feel consistent from strategy to support.

And now, even more funding is on the table.

By securing all six designations, we unlock a wider range of Microsoft co‑funding options. This helps customers move faster through assessments, pilots and modernisation initiatives without stretching their budgets.

“Achieving all six designations is the latest milestone in Kerv’s journey to build a truly world-class Microsoft practice. More importantly, it gives our customers confidence that they’re working with people who really know this technology and can help them get the best from it.“

The designations we’ve earned (and what each actually means)

1. Business Applications: Focused on Dynamics 365 and Power Platform, this designation recognises our ability to help customers streamline processes, improve customer experiences and turn fragmented data into meaningful insight.
2. Data & AI: This reflects our capability to build modern data foundations and help organisations get more value from their information. Whether it’s analytics or responsible AI, we support smarter decision making through well‑designed data solutions.
3. Digital & App Innovation: This covers our work building cloud‑native apps, modernising legacy applications and automating workflows. It shows we can help customers innovate quickly while keeping everything secure and scalable.
4. Infrastructure: This is about building and modernising cloud environments. From hybrid setups to full Azure migrations, this designation confirms our ability to create secure, reliable foundations that support whatever comes next.
5. Security: This demonstrates our expertise in protecting identities, devices, apps and data. It shows we can help organisations strengthen their security posture and stay resilient against constantly evolving threats.
6. Modern Work: This reflects our capability across Microsoft 365, Teams, endpoint management and Copilot. It shows we can help people work smarter, collaborate more naturally and get the most from modern workplace tools without the overwhelm.

And that’s not all: our growing list of Microsoft specialisations

Alongside these six designations, we also hold five Microsoft specialisations and counting. These recognise even deeper technical expertise in key areas across Business Applications, Data & AI and Infrastructure.

They’re awarded based on strict customer evidence, advanced skilling and delivery excellence and they’re a strong signal to customers that Kerv can take on complex projects with confidence.

As we continue to grow, we’ll be adding more. Each one strengthens our ability to deliver outcomes that matter. 

Let our CMO, Rob Meehan, explain how Microsoft runs through all of Kerv.

Looking ahead

Technology isn’t standing still. AI is reshaping what’s possible, and organisations need trusted partners who can help them navigate change without adding complexity or risk.

These designations, together with our growing list of specialisations, give our customers exactly that: expertise across the whole Microsoft ecosystem, a joined‑up delivery experience and access to co‑funded programmes that unlock value faster.

We’re excited for what comes next, and even more excited about what this means for the organisations we partner with.
