A-CX Recognized as an ECIF Partner in Finland

ECIF news

We are pleased to announce that A-CX has been approved as an End Customer Investment Funds (ECIF) partner in Finland, in addition to our previous eligibility in the United States. This milestone underscores our ongoing commitment to supporting organizations across Europe with advanced Microsoft-based solutions, accelerating their innovation and adoption of Secure Cloud technologies and AI-driven services.

One of our notable success stories under ECIF sponsorship is the Azure Entra PA Zero Trust Network Deployment, where we leveraged cutting-edge Zero Trust principles to enhance a client’s security posture. This project exemplifies how ECIF funding helped to deliver a streamlined, cost-effective solution without additional financial burden on the client.
