It’s exciting, we are seeing our customers looking to be aggressive and forward thinking in embracing what is possible. It’s about digital transformation, and achieving business intelligence.”

“These designations are so much more than certifications, they are really about who we are, and what inspires us as a team,” said JoeAnne Hardy, President at WBM. “We are so proud to have this group of people around us, and to have a partner in Microsoft who is rallying with us and our customers. Together, we have done some amazing work, and there is no better feeling than to come together with our client in a governance session where the results of these solutions can be looked at, celebrated, and the next steps forward come into view.”

The alliance between WBM and Microsoft has produced exceptional results to date, helping lead many of Western Canada’s largest organizations through business transformations that are redfining how they work, collaborate, and use information.
