Gijima, first to earn Microsoft’s Advanced Specialization Certification
Gijima, a leading systems integrator for organizations of all sizes is the first South African Company to have earned the Microsoft Advanced Specialization: Windows Server and SQL Server Migration to Microsoft Azure certificate.
The award of this prestigious certificate, verifies that Gijima is best placed to provide delivery and support in migrating Windows Server and SQL Server-based production workloads to Azure. The attainment of this Advanced Specialisation further solidifies Gijima’s proven track record and exemplary success within the Azure migration journey for its customers. It is lastly, testament of the long-standing relationship with Microsoft whereby both companies have a vested interest in providing digital and cloud driven transformation for companies within the South African market.
Given the notability of the certificate, Microsoft ensured it could only be attained by partners that meet stringent criteria around customer success and staff skilling, as well as pass a third-party audit of their migration practices.
As a result of the award, Gijima has taken a step to prove that we are the partner of choice when refactoring or rehosting Windows Server and SQL Server workloads at scale to the Azure platform for large enterprises as well as midmarket customers in the various sectors.
