Crimson has announced a strategic partnership with Arrow, Microsoft's 2025 Distributor of the Year, expanding its Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) offering and strengthening support for clients across Microsoft 365, Azure and Security.

The partnership enables organisations to access Microsoft licensing, optimisation and support services through a single trusted partner, alongside Crimson's existing business transformation and technology expertise.

Helping organisations realise more value from Microsoft

Many organisations have invested heavily in Microsoft technology but struggle to maximise its value. Challenges around governance, adoption, visibility and cost optimisation can prevent businesses from realising the full return on their investment.

Crimson's approach goes beyond licensing. By combining technology expertise with business transformation services, Crimson helps organisations optimise their Microsoft estate, improve governance, strengthen security and prepare for AI-driven innovation.

Through its partnership with Arrow, Crimson can now provide expanded Microsoft licensing services, enhanced technical expertise and stronger support capabilities.

Turning technology investment into business value

For many organisations, the challenge is not simply reducing software costs but ensuring technology investments align with business priorities and deliver measurable outcomes.

Crimson's expanded Microsoft proposition helps organisations:

  • Optimise Microsoft licensing and cloud investments
  • Improve governance and visibility
  • Access enhanced Microsoft expertise and support
  • Accelerate adoption and time-to-value
  • Reinvest savings into strategic initiatives

This approach is already delivering results. In one engagement, Crimson helped a major UK homebuilder uncover six figures of Microsoft licensing value that could be redirected towards improving services for homebuyers.

Looking ahead

The partnership represents a significant investment in Crimson's future as a Microsoft-focused transformation partner. By combining Crimson's transformation expertise with Arrow's Microsoft ecosystem capabilities, clients gain broader Microsoft services, deeper support and a single accountable partner focused on delivering business outcomes.
