Everything you need to know about Logicalis’ global recognition

As AI moves from experimentation to enterprise-wide deployment, Microsoft has introduced a new tier within its AI Cloud Partner Programme: Frontier Partner status. Logicalis has been awarded this recognition globally, placing us among a select group of partners shaping the future of AI transformation.

What is Microsoft Frontier Partner status?

Microsoft Frontier Partner status is a recognition awarded to organisations that lead AI transformation at scale using the Microsoft Cloud.

It identifies partners with advanced AI capabilities and proven delivery experience, helping customers move from pilots to production with measurable business outcomes. Frontier Partners take an AI-first, human-led approach, combining AI agents with human expertise to drive innovation and impact.

Why did Microsoft introduce Frontier Partner status?

The introduction reflects a major shift in the technology landscape.

As organisations look to embed AI across every part of the business, Microsoft requires partners who can do more than deploy technology. Frontier Partners are equipped to design, deploy, govern and scale AI solutions in real-world enterprise environments.

This status highlights partners that can move customers beyond experimentation to achieve meaningful, repeatable outcomes.

What sets a Frontier Partner apart?

Frontier Partners are differentiated by three core strengths.

Advanced capability across AI and the Microsoft Cloud 
Deep expertise spanning Azure, Copilot, data platforms and security, backed by recognised certifications and specialisations.

Proven customer outcomes 
A track record of delivering measurable business impact through AI and cloud transformation.

AI-first approach to transformation 
Embedding AI into workflows, operations and decision-making to deliver sustained value.

How is Frontier Partner status earned?

To achieve Frontier Partner status, organisations must meet rigorous Microsoft criteria.

This includes holding multiple Microsoft Solutions Partner designations, achieving advanced specialisations, and demonstrating strong delivery capability across AI, cloud, data and security. Crucially, partners must also evidence consistent customer success.
