Why Microsoft?

Companies all over the world are rapidly adopting the paid cloud, going from 31% in 2015-16 to 42% in 2019. The Microsoft Cloud is one of the most widely used platforms on the market and is the current choice of over 90% of Fortune 500 companies.

Microsoft is constantly adding to and improving their suite of products, gaining more than 1,000 new customers per day. Australian organisations are especially heavy adopters, widely using tools like Microsoft Office, OneDrive, and Teams, as well as more specialised industry-specific platforms.

Microsoft Training

Microsoft training and certification gives you an immense advantage in your career as an IT professional. Candidates with certification in Microsoft Azure, for example, believe having it makes them 49% more employable, and that they earn up to 20% more than those that are not certified. During cloud deployment, IT professionals with just one Microsoft certification have 35% more influence, while those with more than three relevant certifications have 5.5 times the influence. 

In short, Microsoft training makes you more valuable as an IT professional, helping validate your expertise for specific industry-aligned roles and demonstrate your knowledge of real-world skills.
