Microsoft also recognized Insight for its commitment to diversity and inclusion.

The company offers a variety of allyship workshops, unconscious bias trainings and executive listening sessions. It also drives diversity through app accessibility at a technical design level, aligning to the Microsoft #BuildFor2030 campaign to make the cloud accessible for all.
“The strength of the Insight and Microsoft partnership is our shared values and vision, which allow us to collectively bring to market new and transformational solutions as well as provide clients with comprehensive managed services and cloud capabilities supported by our longstanding supply chain excellence. For example, Insight Cloud Care for Office 365, which offers onboarding and 24/7 help-desk support, and Insight Cloud Care for Azure, which includes dashboards, reports and dedicated cloud success managers, help take the burden of managing IT out of clients’ daily business operations,” said Ken Lamneck, Insight president and CEO.
