17 Aug Marathon celebrates co-sell status with Microsoft

Marathon Managed Services has been accepted into the Microsoft Co-sell programme.

Having become a Microsoft Gold Partner earlier this year, Marathon is already one of only 1% of companies that participate in the partnership programme to be recognised in the Top Tier and their introduction to the Microsoft Marketplace further strengthens their relationship with Microsoft.

Mike Mudie, Marathon’s Sales Director, said: “We have a history of collaborating successfully with Microsoft to benefit our mutual clients and we’re all very excited about now working closer than ever within the Co-sell Programme. To get this recognition is a proud achievement and creates more opportunity for Marathon to continue on our significant growth journey.”

Marathon has a track record for being an early adopter of Microsoft’s latest products such as Windows Virtual Desktop, where they ran the world’s first largescale, global implementation with more than 17,000 seats being deployed and managed. Marathon also pioneered Sentinel as a Service with Microsoft via their 24x7x365 Security Operations Centre, showcasing the benefits of Microsoft’s Security stack through Marathon’s innovative application and ongoing managed service capabilities. More recently, Marathon has been on the forefront of Microsoft’s latest products including Microsoft Purview for unified data governance and Microsoft Viva to enhance overall employee experience.

Marathon are a Managed Service Provider (MSP), increasingly known for their approach to security, holding ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 for the entire organisation and being the first company in the UK to be awarded the Police Digital Security Centre (PDSC) certification.
