SPOKANE, Wash., April 13, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- 2nd Watch, Inc., a software and cloud-computing consulting company, has been recognized by Microsoft for its commitment and expertise providing cloud solutions with an invitation to join the SMB Cloud Champions Club. 2nd Watch is the only company in the Inland Northwest, and one among only three hundred in the nation, awarded the Cloud Champions Club designation. The company has also been recognized as a Microsoft Cloud Accelerate partner.

 In addition to its Microsoft Partnerships, the SMB Cloud Champions Club and the Cloud Accelerate Program further extend 2nd Watch's resources to assist and manage client migrations to Microsoft's Office 365 online products.  The Cloud Champions Club connects partner businesses with tools they can use to grow their cloud-based services with resources ranging from technical professionals to business and marketing funds. The Cloud Accelerate Program provides additional software and marketing benefits as well as Core Silver Competency benefits. "The Cloud Champion Club and the Cloud Accelerate partner designations are testaments to our team's experience and drive toward saving companies money and providing a more mobile and agile product," stated 2nd Watch's President Jeff Aden.  "Gone are the days of managing exchange on premises, and along with that are lower costs that require less maintenance."
