Spanish Point Technologies are happy to announce that we received the Microsoft Country Partner of the Year for Ireland 2019 award last night.

Our CTO, John Corley, was at Microsoft Inspire in Las Vegas, Nevada to accept the award, which is the second time Spanish Point Technologies have been named Country Partner of the Year for Ireland after also receiving the award in 2016.

Spanish Point Technologies was selected for this award on the back of the work that has helped transform the music industry for the benefit of artists globally. We have created unique intellectual property that identifies music and links it to its original creator, making it easier for artists to get paid royalties for their work from streaming sites. All these services are built on Microsoft Azure.

In addition to the honour of winning Microsoft Country Partner of the Year in Ireland for 2019, we have double the reason to celebrate as we also received the award for Application Innovation Partner of the year at Microsoft Inspire 2019.
