Align, the premier global provider of technology infrastructure solutions and Managed IT Services, announces today that they have been awarded Best Cloud Services Provider in Private Equity Wire’s 2023 Emerging Manager Awards.
As a managed service provider, offering top-of-the-line cloud services is imperative – especially today, when businesses rely so heavily on cloud-based applications. The Align IT Suite, Align’s complete Managed Services platform, is built on the foundation of the Microsoft public cloud, offering flexible, secure, compliant managed services for clients, particularly those in the alternative investment industry.
“We are honored to be recognized by Private Equity Wire,” says Chris Zadrima, Managing Director of Align Managed Services. “The past several years has put an emphasis on service providers as we’ve all had to rise to the challenge of adjusting to meet the new set of needs and security risks introduced by the major shift in the workforce. We were proactive in this adjustment; and built our cornerstone managed IT offering, the Align IT Suite, advantaged in the Microsoft public cloud to provide clients with scalable, flexible IT solutions. It is always appreciated to be recognized for our commitment to providing the best-in-class solutions to our clients.”
