Synextra, a UK-based Azure specialist and embedded technology partner to mid-market and enterprise businesses, has been awarded the Microsoft Solutions Partner designation for Data & AI (Azure). The designation adds to Synextra’s existing Solutions Partner accreditation for Azure Infrastructure, reflecting the full depth of the company’s Azure practice.
Microsoft’s Solutions Partner designations are independently verified, assessed against certified technical expertise, customer growth on Azure, and proven delivery outcomes. The Data & AI designation recognises Synextra’s capability to help organisations build and operationalise data and AI solutions on the Azure platform – spanning data management, analytics, AI-driven automation, and platform engineering.
Chris Piggott, CEO at Synextra, comments: “Our core has always been Azure infrastructure. But the businesses we work with need more than that now – and so do we. This designation reflects where the team has been pushing: data, AI, automation, outcomes you can measure. It’s the natural next step for us.”
Synextra works with clients across the UK as an embedded technology division – providing the technical depth and strategic thinking that most businesses would need several partners to cover. In the data and AI space specifically, this includes platform engineering, DevOps, business process automation, and data management, with hands-on delivery across tools including Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, and Azure AI services.
The Data & AI designation validates Synextra’s credentials in an area that has become central to its offer. The company has invested significantly in building AI and data capabilities that go beyond managed infrastructure – developing internal tools, working with AI agents, and helping clients implement automation and intelligence that produces measurable business outcomes.
The achievement sits alongside Synextra’s Infrastructure designation and reinforces its position as a specialist Azure partner with verified capability across the platform.
