What is the 2024 Microsoft Community Response Partner of the Year Award?
The Microsoft Partner of the Year Awards celebrates partners that have developed and implemented exceptional Microsoft Cloud applications, services, devices, and demonstrated AI innovation over the last year. This prestigious award was chosen from more than 4,700 nominations from over 100 countries, representing diverse global industries and sectors.
The Social Impact category highlights partners that are making a positive difference to individuals, customers and communities through delivering innovative Microsoft technology solutions, maximising innovative and unique solutions. By helping solve challenges faced by communities and being a key technical delivery partner for the Tackling Organised Exploitation Program, we were recognised as making a significant social impact, creating a borderless solution for a borderless crime and implementing data solutions for the home office.
By harnessing the transformative power of AI for good, we’ve demonstrated how this technology can positively make a significant difference to communities, addressing critical needs. Our innovative use of AI has enabled us to leverage the potential of these technologies, creating a transformative solution, making a lasting social impact.
The Award-winning Project: Tackling Organised Exploitation
This award celebrates our work with the Tackling Organised Exploitation Program (TOEX). We helped them create a revolutionary data platform, bringing together information from multiple UK police forces for the first time.
Before this solution, tackling organised crime was a significant challenge, due to the time-consuming, inconsistent process of manually searching various datasets to find information. Our work transformed this, involving:
Combining local, regional and national data sets from multiple UK law enforcement agencies onto one secure cloud environment.
Developing the TOEX Data Platform, as well as creating a data analytics portal built with Microsoft Power BI to visualise the data, utilising the Microsoft AI Stack.
The TOEX Capabilities Environment: an Azure powered cloud platform with AI tools, translating data from multiple languages and transcribing audio files. As of January 2024, the TOEX Translation application had been used more than 340 times and translated over 290 million characters.
