Strategic partnerships
Two kinds of partnership stand behind everything Menshen delivers. We hold direct relationships with the world's leading technology vendors - the platforms we license, deploy, secure and run for our clients. And we are part of the First Technology Group, a strategic service partner that extends our delivery capability far beyond what any single Angolan integrator could field alone.
Technology vendors
Direct relationships with the global vendors behind our licensing, security and backup offerings: from the manufacturers we build our practice around to the complementary tools we deploy on enterprise projects.
Angola's oldest active + most-awarded partner
Menshen has been an active Microsoft partner since 2002, the oldest active Microsoft partner in Angola. The company holds 10 Microsoft Partner of the Year awards: 5 as Country Partner of the Year for Angola and 5 regional awards (East & Southern Africa, WECA).
Menshen's current direct Microsoft designation is Solutions Partner - Modern Work. Through the First Technology Group ecosystem, clients reach all 6 Microsoft Cloud designations (Security, Modern Work, Infrastructure, Data & AI, Business Applications, Digital & App Innovation), Azure Expert MSP, and membership in the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA).
That designation has formal roots. Under the former Microsoft Partner Network, Menshen held the Gold Cloud Productivity, Silver Application Integration and Silver Small and Midmarket Cloud Solutions competencies. Gold Cloud Productivity is the direct predecessor of today's Solutions Partner - Modern Work, a history Microsoft recognises through Legacy Gold partner status.
