HADDONFIELD, N.J., Feb. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Helient Technologies, LLC, a premier IT services company and Microsoft Solutions Partner specializing in cloud adoption for the legal and other security-conscious industries, has announced a strategic partnership with AVANT Communications, the nation's premier Technology Services Distributor (TSD) and a leader in technology decision-making. This collaboration illustrates how a Technology Services Distributor and a specialized Microsoft solutions consultancy can work together to simplify cloud adoption, licensing, and cost optimization for end customers.

Through this partnership, AVANT's expansive network of Trusted Advisors will be able to offer Microsoft solutions backed by Helient's deep expertise in Microsoft solutions including Licensing, Azure Cloud, FinOps and Modern Desktop.

AVANT helps its Trusted Advisors tackle changing technology through Pathfinder, which combines research, analytics, and tools for smarter tech choices. With Helient's Microsoft excellence and centricity, the partnership enables organizations to better plan cloud strategy and manage risk and costs.
