Options Technology, a provider of cloud-enabled managed services to the global capital markets, has secured it eighth Microsoft Gold Partner Status competency in Data Platform.

Gold Partner Status is awarded to only the top 1% of Microsoft partners and is a recognised mark of the highest technology and business performance standards worldwide.

Microsoft’s Data Platform competency demonstrates Options’ ability to ensure customer database systems operate efficiently with data secured from unauthorised access and categorised so that it can be translated into business insights.

This accolade is the latest addition to Options’ global cloud-agnostic platform. It follows the company’s receipt of Microsoft Gold Partner competencies in Collaboration and Content, Security, Small and Midmarket Cloud Solutions, Cloud Productivity, Cloud Platform, Project and Portfolio Management, and Communication.

In 2019, Options received investment from Boston-based Private Equity Firm, Abry Partners. This investment has enabled Options to accelerate its growth strategy and develop its technology platform whilst expanding its reach in key financial centres globally.
