This distinguished accolade celebrates Cloudforce's unwavering dedication to creating meaningful impact within its hometown community of Prince George's County, Maryland.
In the highly competitive landscape of over 58,000 global suppliers to Microsoft, Cloudforce's recognition is a testament to its outsized dedication and impact. This year, Cloudforce stood out among other notable finalists in this category, including industry titans KPMG, BlackRock and World Wide Technology, showcasing its unparalleled commitment to community engagement and workforce development. The award also follows in the footsteps of prestigious past winners who have set high standards in social responsibility, including most notably Accenture who clinched this award last.

Cloudforce's holistic approach to community engagement, focused on education, workforce development, and sustainable growth, has set a benchmark for corporate social responsibility in the local tech ecosystem and paved the way for a more inclusive and diverse local workforce.
"It is such a pleasure to recognize Microsoft's supplier community and celebrate how they contribute to Microsoft's success," said Yusuf Mehdi, Executive Vice President and Consumer Chief Marketing Officer of Microsoft. "This has been a transformative year for our company and one that required us to move at the speed of AI. That wouldn't have been possible without our amazing and innovative suppliers and partners."
Microsoft's annual Supplier Prestige Awards were conceived to recognize partners who closely align with Microsoft's values and exemplify the pillars of strategy, priority, agility and modernization in the arenas of sustainability, accessibility, inclusion, representation and community. As Cloudforce celebrates this significant milestone, it reaffirms its commitment to its core value of giving back and its role as a catalyst for positive change in society.
