Why does it matter that Microsoft's own teams refer customers to Redapt?
Microsoft field teams work with every partner in their ecosystem. They refer customers to Redapt because Redapt delivers on its commitments — and because Microsoft knows those customers will come back as references, not complaints. The referral relationship is not a marketing credential. It is the result of a consistent delivery track record in environments that Microsoft's own team cared about.
Redapt has four Solutions Partner designations. What does that mean for us practically?
It means Redapt can design across the Microsoft stack — infrastructure, data, AI, security, and application modernization — without handing off to a different partner at the boundary of each practice area. Architecture decisions in Azure infrastructure have implications for data and AI workloads. Security posture affects every other layer. Holding designations across all four means Redapt accounts for those dependencies in the design, not in a remediation engagement afterward.
What Microsoft funding programs or incentives does Redapt typically activate?
Microsoft has a substantial portfolio of funding programs — ECIF, MAPP, co-sell motions, and others — that most customers do not know to ask about, and most partners do not know how to structure engagements to access. Redapt's embedded relationship with Microsoft field teams gives us current knowledge of which programs apply to which engagement types and how to activate them. That translates directly into lower cost and faster time to value for your project.
How is Redapt different from Microsoft direct?
Microsoft's direct teams focus on adoption and renewal. Redapt focuses on delivery — architecture design, implementation, security hardening, and knowledge transfer to your team. Those are complementary, not competing. Redapt works alongside your Microsoft relationships and will identify co-sell and co-funding opportunities that benefit your engagement.
We already have a Microsoft partner. Why would we consider Redapt?
The right question is not whether to switch — it is whether your current partner holds the specializations your next project requires. If you are moving into AI on Azure, data warehouse modernization, or security architecture, these are areas where depth of specialization matters. Redapt holds eight earned specializations across four designations. What your current partner holds is worth knowing before your next project starts.
How does Redapt handle security across Azure engagements?
Security is not a phase at the end of an engagement or a separate workstream. It is a design constraint applied from the first architecture decision. Identity federation, network segmentation, threat protection configuration, and compliance control mapping are structural elements of every Redapt Azure deployment. Redapt holds Cloud Security and Threat Protection specializations and applies that discipline whether the primary engagement is infrastructure, data, AI, or application modernization.
Can Redapt work with our existing Azure environment?
Yes. Most Redapt engagements begin with an Architecture Review of the existing environment — assessing what is working, documenting governance and security gaps, and producing a prioritized path forward. A full rebuild is rarely the right answer. Closing the gaps in a running environment is faster and lower risk when approached with a structured assessment first.
