Littlefish Achieves Six Microsoft Specialisations

Microsoft’s latest partner updates are setting the pace for a future that’s AI-first, cloud-powered, and security-focused. 

At Littlefish, we’re proud to be at the forefront of this evolution and even prouder to announce that we’ve now attained six Microsoft advanced specialisations.

Part of the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program (MAICPP), specialisations go beyond Solutions Partner designations (although you must first attain these in the relevant areas) and are a mark of deep technical expertise, real-world impact, and a commitment to delivering measurable business value through IT.

Why specialisations matter

Earning a specialisation is no small feat; they require Microsoft partners to demonstrate, not only technical depth, but also a proven ability to drive measurable results for their customers. To ensure this, each specialisation is awarded based on rigorous criteria, including:

• Proven customer success  
• Advanced technical capabilities  
• Independent third-party audits  
• Alignment with Microsoft’s most in-demand solutions  

Very few partners globally achieve the breadth and depth required to attain multiple specialisations. This is what makes Littlefish’s six Microsoft specialisations so significant: they reflect our proven ability to deliver high-value solutions across the Microsoft ecosystem and highlight our ongoing commitment to helping organisations thrive.

In a landscape flooded with tech providers, holding these credentials is a powerful way to cut through the noise. They make life easier for companies who want to identify and work with partners who meet Microsoft’s rigorous standards and that are well-equipped to lead meaningful digital transformation.

Our six Microsoft specialisations:

With only a select group of partners globally achieving this level of recognition, Littlefish’s six specialisations place us in elite company.
