Huntsville, AL — February 9, 2025 — Summit 7, a leading compliance and managed IT solutions provider for defense contractors, has renewed its designation as an Azure Expert Managed Service Provider (MSP).

Summit 7 earned its initial designation in 2024, being one of the first in the world to achieve it. Becoming an Azure Expert MSP involves passing rigorous assessment procedures and demonstrating the highest level of expertise in Microsoft cloud services and Microsoft Azure capabilities.

Maintaining Summit 7’s Azure Expert MSP status requires an annual 3rd party audit in addition to the dozens of high-level individual Microsoft certifications required to qualify initially.

“This designation is a testament to Summit 7’s high level of Azure expertise and capacity to innovate,” said Kevin Boucher, VP of Technology and Innovation of Summit 7. “Summit 7 proudly remains one of the only Azure Expert MSP organizations focused on the Azure U.S. Government Cloud.”

While every Defense Industrial Base contractor shares the goal of providing critical products and services to protect U.S. interests, each has unique needs and objectives, as well as the ambition to stand out from competitors. The Azure Expert MSP designation equips Summit 7 with the skills necessary to tailor Azure solutions for organizations seeking innovation, not just compliance.

Summit 7 is a Microsoft AOSG Partner for the Government Cloud and takes pride in having only U.S. persons supporting clients. Becoming an Azure Expert MSP sets Summit 7 further apart as a cutting-edge compliance and managed IT service provider that empowers government organizations to thrive in the digital era.
