Cloud is undoubtedly a big focus for Microsoft, in fact it’s betting its future on it. With two of its hyperscale datacentres due to open their virtual doors in South Africa next year, it’s unsurprising that Microsoft’s 2017 partner awards had a big focus on the cloud.

Held at the Sandton Convention Centre on November 14, the event saw 17 awards handed out to a host of partners. Unlike the other awards that are decided upon by a panel of Microsoft employees, the final award of the evening – the Microsoft Managing Director’s award – is awarded solely at the discretion of the MD.
