Microsoft ANZ Azure Partner of the Year, Arinco, launches in New Zealand

Arinco, cloud innovator and specialist Microsoft partner, is today announcing their expansion into the New Zealand market with the goal of helping customers modernise and innovate in the cloud, harnessing the latest AI technologies. 

Backed by impressive year-on-year growth in the Australian Market, Arinco is bringing its AI expertise and proven ability to accelerate cloud migration into New Zealand, with plans to rapidly build the local team. Arinco’s unique OpenAI Solution Accelerator and well-known successful offerings including Azure Done Right and Data Done Right, have already supported multiple customers in Aotearoa.  

Arinco has appointed Daniel Lund as General Manager to lead the growth in New Zealand.  

Daniel is a highly regarded executive in the industry, coming from a career in management consulting and technology with brands including Microsoft, Accenture, and Deloitte.

We have made a strategic hire, to ensure the success of our New Zealand business. We are very excited to be welcoming Daniel Lund who will drive business growth and AI and cloud adoption for our New Zealand customers.

Today’s announcement comes off the back of last week’s Microsoft Inspire event, in which Arinco was named Microsoft ANZ’s Azure Partner of the Year. This regional award recognises Arinco’s Azure Done Right solution, an industry-leading offering designed to help customers establish strong foundations for future innovation and growth in Azure. Since launching four years ago, Arinco’s close partnership with Microsoft has helped accelerate their Azure growth by 66% YoY.

Arinco is continuing to work closely with Microsoft, preparing customers to make the most of the new Microsoft datacenter region in New Zealand. Vanessa Sorenson, Chief Partner Officer Microsoft ANZ, has shared her excitement for Arinco’s expansion plans:

The arrival of hyperscale cloud in Aotearoa, including our own datacenter region opening next year, is set to massively accelerate growth and innovation as customers take advantage of efficiencies, scale and low-latency, and greater access to new tools such as AI. Having cloud partners like Arinco investing in helping local businesses make the most of those opportunities is fantastic. This is exactly what we need to help Aotearoa super-charge its digital economy.

Exciting customer launch events are planned to kick off late August timeframe.
