Microsoft and Mindware have established a strong partnership that has thrived for over 25 years, dating back to the inception of Mindware. Throughout this time, the two companies have closely collaborated to provide a comprehensive suite of Microsoft offerings, including Azure, Dynamics 365, Enterprise Mobility & Security, Exchange, Microsoft 365, Office 365, Power BI, SQL, SharePoint, Teams, and Windows. Their joint efforts have empowered regional organizations, across various domains, to leverage cutting-edge technology solutions for enhanced digital transformation, productivity and growth.

The setting up of our new AI business unit is in line with our commitment to offer the market the latest and greatest technologies that will help drive their digital transformation. The addition of Microsoft Copilot greatly strengthens the portfolio of AI offerings that our new division brings to market, and provides the channel ecosystem with a range of resources and capabilities to enhance their service offerings. This in turn enables them to increase productivity, improve customer satisfaction, and deliver innovative solutions to the market, driving profitability.”
Tamer Elhamy, Microsoft Middle East’s Chief Partnership Officer, commented: “We are delighted to partner with Mindware. They have shown remarkable vision and execution in bringing M365 Copilot to their customers.

In a demonstration of its commitment to advancing the use of AI in the region and ensuring that customers and partners fully grasp Copilot’s capabilities, Mindware has launched the Colearn with Copilot program. They have also achieved Microsoft’s highest service delivery standards and earned specializations through rigorous validation processes by both Microsoft and accredited third-party auditors. This highlights Mindware’s expertise and commitment to delivering exceptional solutions while maintaining a focus on excellent customer service.
