VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Canada – June 8, 2016 – Softlanding today announced it has attained Microsoft’s Gold Cloud Platform competency demonstrating their commitment to delivering clients “best-in-class” cloud assistance with their Microsoft Cloud, Hybrid and traditional on-premises requirements.
Achieving Gold Cloud Platform demonstrates deep ability and commitment to solutions built on Microsoft Azure.

Achieving multiple Gold Competencies represents a significant investment as a consulting organization and is indicative of the Softlanding’s ongoing commitment and depth of experience in Cloud Solutions.
This announcement marks a significant leverage for Softlanding as a Microsoft Cloud Accelerate Partner. In addition to their existing Gold Cloud Productivity and Gold Datacenter competencies, Softlanding now holds three Gold Cloud Competencies, uniquely positioning themselves as the go-to Canadian Cloud Partner.
