Technology consulting company iLink Digital has received the Microsoft Frontier Partner badge, a recognition for organisations meeting Microsoft’s criteria across its solutions partner designations and specialisations.
Microsoft introduced the Frontier Partner badge for organisations with at least three Solutions Partner designations and three specialisations. iLink said it has attained all six Solutions Partner designation pathways, covering Cloud and AI Platforms, AI Business Solutions and Security.
The company also holds more than 10 Microsoft specialisations, along with Microsoft Azure Expert MSP status and Microsoft Fabric Featured Partner recognition.
According to iLink, the recognition builds on more than two decades of its collaboration with Microsoft. The company said it currently supports more than 125 Azure customers globally and has a team of over 2,000 Microsoft-certified consultants.
The Frontier Partner programme focuses on helping organisations move artificial intelligence applications and agents from experimental or pilot stages into production environments, with emphasis on data, security, governance and integration with business processes.
iLink said its work in this area includes developing AI-ready data foundations using Microsoft Fabric and Azure, deploying Microsoft Copilot and AI agents, and integrating security, compliance and observability into AI deployments.
The company also said Microsoft plans to evolve the badge into a Frontier Partner specialisation, providing a framework for identifying partners with capabilities to build and deploy agents across Microsoft’s Frontier product portfolio.
As part of the programme’s evolution, iLink said it plans to increase its focus on Microsoft Fabric, Microsoft Foundry and Copilot Studio, with security and governance integrated into its AI initiatives.
