AlfaPeople joins Microsoft Inner Circle for 17th consecutive year

AlfaPeople has once again been named to the 2026–2027 Microsoft AI Business Solutions Inner Circle, marking our 17th consecutive year in the Microsoft Inner Circle.

Seventeen years represent more than longevity. During that time, business applications have evolved from traditional ERP systems to cloud-based platforms, connected data, and, today, AI-powered business solutions. Throughout that transformation, AlfaPeople has continued to develop its Microsoft capabilities and help organizations turn new technology into tangible business value.

Staying close to where Microsoft is heading

Participation in Inner Circle is based on sales achievements among the top echelon of Microsoft’s global AI Business Solutions partner network. Inner Circle members also engage with Microsoft executives and other members to discuss strategy, gain insight into Microsoft roadmaps, and exchange experiences and best practices.

For AlfaPeople, that access is particularly valuable because it strengthens our ability to understand where Microsoft technology is heading and translate that knowledge into relevant advice and solutions for our customers.

“When AlfaPeople first became part of Inner Circle 17 years ago, the technology landscape looked very different. What has remained constant is our ambition to understand where Microsoft is going and translate that into tangible value for our customers. Being recognized again is something we are proud of, but more importantly, it confirms that this approach continues to matter,” says Michael Gaardboe, CEO and Founder of AlfaPeople.

More than a sales recognition

“Inner Circle partners represent our top-selling partners worldwide. But it is more than a sales recognition; it’s a community of industry leaders who work closely with Microsoft to accelerate innovation, share experience, and shape the future of AI-powered business transformation. The collaboration and commitment to customer success demonstrated by this community helps us advance the entire AI Business Solutions partner ecosystem around the world to deliver transformative business outcomes at scale,” says Niels Jensen, Microsoft AI Business Solutions ERP Lead in Enterprise Partner Solutions.

For AlfaPeople, the 17th consecutive Inner Circle recognition reinforces a long-standing commitment: staying close to the development of Microsoft business technology while helping customers turn that development into practical business outcomes.
