Ireland’s technology sector is a hub of innovation and opportunity, home to many of the world’s largest global tech companies and software enterprises. The sector has rapidly evolved over the last three decades into one of the most vibrant and dynamic ecosystems globally, positioning itself as a leading destination for innovation, investment, and talent. Operating against this backdrop, Ergo, Ireland’s largest indigenous IT solutions provider, has been recognised as Microsoft Ireland Partner of the Year for 2024. This is the sixth time since 2010 that Ergo has been acknowledged as Microsoft’s Partner of the Year, making it the most recognised of any partner in Ireland.

This award ranks Ergo among a select number of the world’s leading IT solutions providers that have been recognised globally. The award criteria is based on several factors, including commercial performance, collaboration with the local Microsoft team, tech intensity and cloud adoption. It also factors in how organisations have demonstrated excellence in innovation and the implementation of customer solutions based on Microsoft technology.

Ergo has developed an invaluable partnership with Microsoft over the last three decades and this recognition demonstrates the depth and breadth of Ergo’s expertise and competencies across the full suite of Microsoft technologies. Ergo also has six Microsoft MVPs (most valued professionals), more than any other IT solutions provider in Ireland.

The latest achievement reflects Ergo’s wide range of skills in Microsoft technologies that allow Ergo to cover all client requirements, no matter how specialised, and fulfil every organisation’s unique needs and requirements.

Martina added, “The depth of Ergo’s understanding and application of Microsoft technologies is truly impressive, positioning them as the well-deserved recipient of the Microsoft Partner of the Year Award 2024 for Ireland.

Ergo was recognised for developing and delivering outstanding Microsoft Cloud applications, services and AI innovation over the last year. In particular, Ergo’s artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities stood out, as AI has been a key area of focus for Ergo in recent years. Ergo understands that the future is AI-driven, and to ensure customers are prepared for today while planning for tomorrow, Ergo has developed an AI practice that enables customers to achieve the maximum benefit from their IT investments. Ergo has the capability to uniquely shape its customers’ digital transformations toward embracing data-driven practices through AI securely and compliantly, demonstrating what’s possible with AI and the Microsoft Cloud.

On achieving the award, Ergo chief executive Paul McCann emphasised the organisation’s dedication to empowering customers through technology as central to everything Ergo does.

He said: “Winning the Microsoft Partner of the Year award for the sixth time demonstrates Ergo’s standing as a leading IT service provider and a customer-first organisation. Our customers recognise our outstanding service quality, technical expertise, customer centricity and partner accreditations as key strengths that are unique to us in the industry. We take a holistic approach to every client project, and marrying our passion for excellence in tech and customer centricity is what makes us and our offering special. We are extremely proud to receive this award as it recognises the dedication and hard work of our team and our position in the industry as leaders in Microsoft technologies.”

Ergo also has been awarded six Microsoft Solutions Partner designations and in 2021 Ergo was awarded the Azure Expert Managed Services Provider.
