CMTG has been named a Microsoft Solutions Partner in AI Business Solutions, under the Modern Work solution area for SMB. It’s a genuine milestone for our team, and one we’re proud of: formal recognition from Microsoft that CMTG can help businesses adopt Microsoft 365 and AI properly, securely, and with a real plan behind it.
The designation reflects three things Microsoft assessed directly: our ability to deploy modern workplace solutions correctly, not just switch them on; our track record lifting productivity and security across a client’s Microsoft environment; and our capability guiding businesses towards AI-powered ways of working, with Microsoft 365 Copilot as the practical starting point.
The timing could not be better. Dicker Data recently described this as one of the biggest moments the Microsoft partner channel has seen in a decade, as customer expectations shift from simply switching AI on to adopting it securely, with governance, training and a clear plan behind every step. That is exactly the approach CMTG has taken from day one, and it is the thinking behind our Strategic Consulting practice.
“AI adoption without security is just risk with better marketing,” says Nick Hughes, CMTG’s vCIO and Technology Strategist. “This designation reflects an approach we’ve taken for years: Microsoft 365, security and AI as one conversation, not three separate projects. Clients don’t need more technology thrown at them. They need someone who can tell them, in plain terms, what’s safe to do now and what needs work first.”
For Managing Director Carl Filpo, the designation is confirmation of something CMTG’s clients already know. “This is Microsoft looking at the work our team does every day and confirming what our clients already tell us: that we know how to make Microsoft 365 and AI actually work for a business, not just switch it on. It’s a milestone for CMTG, but more importantly it’s a signal to our clients that they’re in the right hands as AI becomes part of how they operate.”
Whether your business is weighing up Copilot, wondering whether your Microsoft 365 environment is secure enough to build on, or simply asking where to start with AI, that’s exactly the conversation CMTG is built for.
