Phoenix Software, based in Pocklington, today announced it has won the 2019 Microsoft Global Modern Workplace Transformation Partner of the Year Award.

The company was honored among a global field of top Microsoft partners for demonstrating excellence in innovation and implementation of customer solutions based on Microsoft technology.

“The Team here at Phoenix feel highly honoured and joyous at winning such a prestigious award and we would like to thank all our staff who have made this possible,” said Sam Mudd, Managing Director at Phoenix. “In our submission we highlighted the work that we had done with the Vale of Glamorgan Council and when we watched it back we had an immense feeling of pride in seeing how our work with Microsoft had had such an impact within the council. Many of our Public Sector customers have really embraced the idea of a modern workplace and we are proud to be able to help them make this a reality and deliver truly transformational change to their staff, students, patients and citizens that they serve.”

Watch the difference we make

As the top performing council in Wales, Vale of Glamorgan Council had stark choice to make – cut services in order to save money or transform their organisation. With the help of Phoenix , they decided to do the latter by embracing Microsoft 365.

TRUE PARTNERSHIPS. REAL OUTCOMES.

We believe that by using IT we can enable all UK Public Sector organisations to innovate and transform to deliver smart connected services to staff, citizens, patients, tenants and students. We do this by understanding the individual goals of each organisation that we work with to help them modernise their workplace by haarnessing the power of cloud, data, AI, security and collaboration tools.
