Thursday, 5 December, 2024: Today Spanish Point Technologies announced its achievement of the Microsoft Azure Specialisation to Build and Modernise AI Apps. Spanish Point is the first indigenous technology company in the Republic of Ireland to earn this specialisation, underscoring its leadership in delivering state-of-the-art, AI-driven application development.
The specialisation can only be earned by Microsoft partners that meet stringent criteria around customer success and staff skilling, as well as pass a third-party audit of their web workload deployment and management practices, including their ability to implement Azure App Service.
