Want the insights but don’t have the time? These are the key moments:
- A member of the exclusive Microsoft Inner Circle, Mint retains its status as a leader in innovative service delivery
- The latest insights into Microsoft’s roadmap and capabilities give businesses a competitive edge and access to best practice integrations
- Strategic value-add built on proven expertise and recognized hard work gives companies peace of mind when selecting Mint as a vendor
In 2017, the Mint Group was recognized as one of the top 1% of Microsoft Dynamics providers globally, earning a prestigious spot in the Inner Circle for Microsoft Dynamics. This honour is reserved for the top 1% of Business Applications partners worldwide. Mint Group is also the only partner based in Africa that has received this level of recognition, reflecting its strong presence and impact on the continent.
Fast-forward to 2024, and Mint is in its ninth consecutive year of being awarded the status of a Microsoft Inner Circle member – an exclusive community that only offers access to the top 1% of Microsoft partners globally. To put this achievement into perspective, there are currently more than 500,000 Microsoft partners around the world and approximately 72 partners are selected for the Inner Circle.
Entry into the Inner Circle is granted by outstanding sales achievements and innovation and Mint was once again selected for this Business Applications’ 2024-2025 cohort. Selection for Inner Circle is achieved through a combination of Implementation of solutions in the Enterprise and SMC Segments, Microsoft Business Applications Sales & Customer Success. This places the company in the top echelon of Microsoft Business Applications global network of partners and ensures Mint prioritises high-level performance while helping companies excel.
Why Inner Circle means Trusted Partner
There are several benefits to collaborating with a trusted Microsoft Inner Circle member. The first is that Mint joins Microsoft senior leaders and other Inner Circle partners at the Inner Circle Summit in Spring 2025. The summit is supported by two virtual events in August 2024 and June 2025 where attendees discuss strategy, the Microsoft roadmap and future plans. Both offer Mint the opportunity to establish strong executive connections and collaborate on best practice.
If you’re looking for the perfect partner for your technology integration or transformation, this translates into having access to the latest Microsoft insights applied to your unique business situation. Mint brings specialized IP, business processes and technical expertise straight to your business.
The second benefit to partnering with an Inner Circle vendor is that you know the award was earned by hard work. It’s proof that Mint has put in the hours and focused on building expertise, so you get solutions built on best practice and proven methodologies. Mint has grown from a company servicing the South African market to one that is now in Central Eastern Europe Middle East Africa (CEMA) and the United Kingdom and has helped clients across multiple industries achieve the best possible results from their technology.
In third place is strategy, which is invaluable for companies wanting their technology investments to be sustainable and have longevity. At the Inner Circle summits attended over the past nine years, Mint has talked strategy and planning with some of Microsoft’s most senior leaders and decision-makers. This allows Mint to provide you with a strategic approach to your AI and cloud investments that allows you to unlock incremental business value through services and solutions.
It is an exceptional achievement, and Mint continues to hold its 1% spot over nine years of continuous improvement and dedication to delivering value and expertise to our customers.
