Inova Solutions has been named the 2026 Microsoft Country Partner of the Year for Jamaica, one of the honours in Microsoft's annual Partner of the Year Awards. This year's winners and finalists were selected from more than 4,500 nominations submitted worldwide, recognising partners that deliver exceptional customer outcomes with Microsoft Cloud, AI, services and devices.

“We are honoured to once again be named Microsoft Jamaica Partner of the Year. Being recognised by Microsoft over several years reflects the consistency of our commitment to helping organisations transform, innovate, and grow with Microsoft technologies. This continued recognition reinforces our focus on creating meaningful impact for our customers and communities,” said Hans Kruithof, Managing Director of Inova Solutions.

From AI licenses to everyday AI habits

Inova Solutions' work with Microsoft 365 Copilot, Microsoft's AI assistant, was central to this year's recognition.

Many organisations discover that switching on AI is only the first step. Their IT teams must then decide who can access which information, protect sensitive data, monitor usage and set clear rules for responsible use.

Inova Solutions helps organisations take that step with confidence. Its Microsoft 365 Copilot Admin Training is a hands-on, eight-module programme that takes IT teams from readiness checks and configuration through security and compliance governance, daily administration and monitoring. The work follows Microsoft's Responsible AI principles and is complemented by adoption training for employees and data-security services.

"For us in Jamaica, this award reflects the trust our customers place in us," said Kiefa Gay Sandcroft, Country Manager for Jamaica. "Technology often arrives faster than the skills to manage it. We close that gap with training, guidance and ongoing support, delivered by a team that understands how our customers work."

Readiness first, then adoption

For most Jamaican organisations, the question is no longer whether to use AI, but how to use it safely. The answer is practical: put trained people in control before AI reaches every desk. Prepare the administrators, then extend adoption to all employees, with security built in at every step.

It is a sequence any organisation can follow, whether it is still evaluating Copilot or has already switched it on. The award confirms the approach; the next step is helping more Jamaican businesses and institutions turn their AI investment into everyday capability.

Inova Solutions provides managed IT services and solutions built on Microsoft technology, spanning cloud infrastructure, modern work, security, data and AI, and business applications. The company holds six Microsoft Solutions Partner designations and specialisations in Copilot, Cloud Security, Adoption and Change Management, and Teamwork Deployment. It has more than 16 years of experience in the Caribbean, with teams in Jamaica, across the wider region and in Ecuador.
