September 25 2018 - 6:00AM
Microsoft (MSFT) For Startups (London) has selected the IoT data
sharing and governance firm Microshare into its coveted “ScaleUp”
program, part of a $500 million joint sales initiative designed for
promising technology startups.
The ScaleUp program by Microsoft is an immersive program “for
Series A startups in Enterprise software offering access to global
sales, marketing and technical support.” The ScaleUp program gives
Microshare’s unique IoT data sharing platform the kind of
go-to-market and community benefits needed to grow revenue and
expand the firm’s customer base globally, and is yet another
industry validation of the Microshare Data Sharing IoT
Platform.
“We were impressed with the Microshare proposition and its
immediate relevance to the growing IoT Data Sharing ecosystem,”
said Warwick Hill, Managing Director of Microsoft ScaleUp Program,
Western Europe. “We are aligned in our focal point of
democratizing AI, Data Privacy and IoT and look forward to a
strategically beneficial relationship.”
“The ScaleUp program gives us an opportunity to continue to
leverage Microsoft’s global sales team and industry-leading Azure
IoT Cloud and Azure IoT Edge to win additional new business
together and integrate Microshare’s platform into the Microsoft
product suite, with a unique position on the Azure Marketplace to
enable controlled data sharing at scale,” says Microshare CEO Ron
Rock. “I’m very pleased at the validation this acceptance confers
on our technology and partner-centric delivery model to really
scale our business through Microsoft’s established sales channels.
We’re excited to see our growing relationship with Microsoft taken
to the next level.”
