Version 1

We are thrilled to announce that Version 1 has been named Microsoft's Global Partner of the Year 2023 for Modernizing Applications! 🏆

The Microsoft Partner of the Year Awards recognises Microsoft partners that have developed and delivered outstanding Microsoft-based applications, services, and devices during the past year.

The accolade came out of our partnership with National Highways for the innovative transformation of their critical National Incident Liaison Officers (NILO) application.

We’d like to extend a huge thank you to our team who were involved in the project and our partners in National Highways for enabling Version 1 to be Microsoft’s Modernizing Applications Global Partner of choice.

This World Ocean Day, we celebrate our most important natural resource, and we take action.

Over the last month, Version 1 teams from around the world have come together for beach clean ups. From Belfast to Bangalore, we're so proud of our colleagues who have shown up - with other events in Dublin, Cork, London and Edinburgh.

We had experts teach us about the harm done by microplastics and the waste left by cotton ear buds and found out how tiny sponges which wash up on our shores are used to clean nuclear reactors!

75 people took part, with more than 200 kgs collected - including a full handsoap dispenser, vintage crisp packets and some underwear!

Thanks to everyone who came out and to the country organisers Mick O'Reilly, Ian Slattery, Graeme Robb, Celia Doublet, Kashyap Raja, Owen Parry, Rajdeep Dal, Vaishnavi R and especially Helen Lambe.

Anyone can make a difference for the future - together.
