One of the fastest growing technology companies in Ireland, Limerick based Action Point, has been chosen as Microsoftโ€™s โ€˜SMB Partner of the Yearโ€™ at the global giant tech companyโ€™s annual lead gathering of international partners.

The Limerick headquartered company, with offices also in Dublin, Galway, London and California, has partnered with Microsoft on its Azure and HoloLens technologies, most recently with the launch of its Idea Factory software development service for HoloLens.

Action Point was selected to address two separate sessions at the Microsoft Inspire global gathering at the Walter E. Washington Conference Centre and used the opportunity to discuss its latest innovation, IoT-Predict, as an example of a solution that is lowering the barriers for IoT implementation. IoT-Predict is an out of the box IoT solution fully operational within 10 minutes.

The company was later named Microsoftโ€™s Irish โ€˜SMB Partner of the Yearโ€™, which is testament, its CTO John Savage said, to the companyโ€™s laser focus on delivering โ€˜Cloud Firstโ€™ solutions for their customers and further validates Action Pointโ€™s position as a leader in the delivery of Microsoft technologies including Office 365, EM+S, Azure and HoloLens.

Speaking after the event, Mr Savage said, โ€œMicrosoft Inspire is one of the most exciting gathering of technology companies annually. Attendees get insights into where Microsoft is going over the coming year as well as network, share best practices and experience the latest cutting edge innovations. This is the third year we have travelled to this event in Washington and to come away with an award for the SMB Partner of the Year in Ireland is very pleasing indeed. We were also invited to meet with
Microsoftโ€™s Global Leadership team, including Vice President of IoT Device Experience Rodney Clark and HoloLens Global Sales Lead Mark Day and gained insights from a partner operating at the cutting-edge of IoT. This all says a lot about the impact Action Point is now having as a business. โ€œ

โ€œWe attended a number of invite-only gatherings at the event and not alone are we quite proud to attend but we also had the honour of being selected to address not just one but two of the Conference workshops. The workshops focused on IoT and Smart Manufacturing, areas that Action Point have developed a strong reputation in. On top of that, we get this award as their top Irish partner. This all reflects very positively on our progress as a company but also on the ecosystem generally we have in Ireland, one that allows indigenous companies to scale up and impact globally, including with giants of technology like Microsoft.โ€

He continued: โ€œOur goal coming here was to get insight into Microsoftโ€™s global strategic direction which enables the company to continue creating best in class solutions for their customers. This, in turn, will help drive the continued growth of our business and drive job numbers at our bases in Limerick, Dublin, Galway, California and London.โ€

The โ€˜SMB Partner of the Yearโ€™ award was presented by Aisling Curtis, Commercial Director of Microsoft Ireland.

Action Pointโ€™s Head of Microsoft Cloud Solutions, Finian Nally said, โ€œWe are delighted with this award as it is the result of relentless commitment from an extremely talented team across Ireland and the US. It also recognises Action Pointโ€™s ability to implement best in class solutions for our customers powered by Microsoftโ€™s suite of technologies.โ€
