Columbus has been selected by Microsoft as one of the first 30 partners worldwide to receive the new Support Services designation. This recognition is currently available only to a limited group of partners and will not be broadly accessible until next year. Being included in this initial group highlights Columbus’ strong capabilities in delivering high-quality support and operational excellence across the Microsoft ecosystem.

The company maintained a strong operational discipline and continued preparing for renewed growth. Entering Q4, Columbus has a strengthened pipeline, reflecting postponed engagements and continued progress on large strategic opportunities, supporting momentum into 2026.
