Mint Times - July 2024
Mint Group
We #createtomorrow by inspiring our employees, clients, partners and community through innovative technology solutions
We are officially done with the first month of our new financial year. Let's look at some highlights from July as we #CreateTomorrow!
Officially Kicking off FY25
Fiscal Year 2024 was a truly remarkable period. Microsoft’s introduction of the term “AI Transformation” marked a pivotal moment, and we’ve since witnessed the incredible potential of Copilots to elevate human capabilities.
We extend our gratitude to all Johannesburg-based Minties who joined us for the FY25 Kick-off event at Bryanston Country Club. It was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate our collective accomplishments from the past year. As we embark on FY25, we are filled with optimism for the exciting journey ahead, and we look forward to sharing in the success with our employees, partners, clients, and community.
Mint Achieves Advanced Specialisations in Data & Analytics
Mint has officially secured our Microsoft Advanced Specializations in Data Warehouse Migration and Analytics on Azure.
On top of already being a designated Solutions Partner for Data & AI, we are now recognized by Microsoft as a preferred solutions provider within the Data and Analytics space.
South Africa - Celebrating Mandela Day the Mint Way
Mint Group specifically focuses on early childhood development, with the establishment of the Sekolo sa Dinaledi Trust in 2017, increasing its support of early childhood education initiatives. This Mandela Day, it was an honour to work with our beneficiaries, the Ekukhanyeni Relief Project in Johannesburg and Laddles of Love in Cape Town.
Mint UK News
Our UK team recently attended Microsoft’s largest partner event since the pandemic at the iconic Magazine building in North Greenwich, London. The event brought together an impressive 650 partners from across the globe, including many familiar faces from our industry. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect and collaborate with the wider Microsoft ecosystem.
The event showcased Microsoft’s commitment to driving innovation, with AI and Copilot taking center stage. It's no surprise that AI searches have skyrocketed by 789% in the past year. To support this growth, Microsoft is doubling its data center footprint and investing a significant $40 million in product advertising. Additionally, they’ve introduced increased partner incentives to fuel growth for both customers and partners.
As one of the few UK partners holding all 6 Microsoft designations, Mint is well-positioned to capitalize on these opportunities. We’re excited about the future and the possibilities that AI, Copilot, and cybersecurity will bring to our clients.
