The 1% Standard: Why Trility’s Data Warehouse Migration to Microsoft Azure Specialization Matters for Your Enterprise

There are over 500,000 Microsoft partners globally. As of today, Trility is in the top 1%. We recently earned the Data Warehouse Migration to Microsoft Azure Specialization, a distinction held by fewer than 5,000 firms worldwide. To achieve this, Trility didn’t just submit a portfolio; we underwent a rigorous, third-party audit of our end-to-end delivery methodology.

For our clients, this achievement isn’t about our new badge. It’s about solving a high-consequence problem that technical engineering alone cannot fix. While many partners can move your data from point A to point B, very few can ensure that point B is a governed, scalable environment that actually drives business value.

Will your cloud transition be a strategic asset or a technical liability?

The window for "experimenting" with the cloud is closing. Gartner predicts that by 2028, cloud computing will shift from being a technology disruptor to a necessity for business competitiveness. However, as organizations rush to meet this deadline, many are building on a fractured foundation. Research shows that 63% of organizations either do not have – or are unsure if they have – the right data management practices in place for AI. This creates a high-stakes paradox: you are being forced to move to the cloud to remain competitive, yet you likely lack the governance to ensure a successful transition. 

What capabilities did Trility demonstrate to ensure your migration succeeds?

To join the elite 1% of partners, Trility had to prove a consistent, high-standard methodology across every phase of the data journey. We ensure that when your data moves, it is ready to perform. During the third-party audit, we demonstrated:

• Strategic Cloud Adoption: A defined approach for helping customers evaluate and define a cloud adoption strategy that aligns with long-term business goals.
• Governed Architectural Design: A consistent approach to planning cloud adoption using reference architectures while clearly defining the customer’s role in governing cloud-based solutions.
• Operational Success & Security: The ability to set up customers for success by deploying compliant and secure environments with built-in policies and controls.
• Requirement Precision: A consistent approach to assessing unique customer requirements for a data warehouse solution to eliminate ambiguity.
• Design Methodology: Robust, audited methodologies for designing data warehouse workloads that are scalable and resilient.
• Deployment & Transition Excellence: Robust methodologies for deploying and transitioning data warehouse workloads without disrupting business continuity.

While 63% of organizations struggle with data management, our audited process provides the missing framework for success. We overcome the risk of a fractured foundation by ensuring that every technical move is anchored in strategic governance.

What does this specialization mean for Trility’s clients?

"This specialization provides concrete proof that Microsoft trusts Trility to solve the most complex data challenges," says Melissa Creger, Manager of Channel Partnerships at Trility. "For our clients, this translates to reduced project risk and, in many cases, unlocks exclusive Microsoft funding to accelerate their modernization journey."

This achievement also marks a pivotal moment in Trility's internal evolution. "Being a consulting-led culture means focusing on the why before the how,” said Brody Deren, Chief Strategy Officer at Trility. “This audit confirms that our transition-and-deployment methodologies aren’t just effective – they are world-class. We aren't just moving data; we are setting up our customers for long-term operational success."
