The Microsoft Partner of the Year Awards celebrate organisations that have developed and delivered outstanding Microsoft Cloud applications, services, devices and AI innovation. This year’s honourees were selected from more than 4,600 nominations across over 100 countries.
Transparity was recognised for providing outstanding solutions that are driving a new era of workplace inclusion through its partnership with the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB). By implementing Microsoft 365 Copilot, Transparity has helped RNIB to transform accessibility for blind and partially sighted employees, significantly improving independence and efficiency. The results include an 11% increase in productivity, saving up to four hours per week per user, and an exceptional 1,900% return on investment across more than 300 licences deployed.
Paul Bolt, CEO of Transparity said: “I’m thrilled that we have been awarded the Microsoft Nonprofit Partner of the Year. This recognition marks a significant milestone for Transparity – our very first Partner of the Year win and underscores the tangible impact of our work with Nonprofits. From the very beginning, this sector has been a top priority for us, aligning digital tools to inspiring missions is a real passion of ours. Being recognised by the industry reinforces the tangible impact of our AI portfolio and validates the effectiveness of our approach.”
Tricia Smikle, director, office of the CEO at RNIB said: “We needed a partner that understood these challenges and could deliver a solution that would empower our employees. Transparity was that partner. From day one, the Transparity team did more than provide technology. They became part of our journey. They helped us embed a culture of accessibility and empowerment within RNIB.”
