US based Henson Group is a Microsoft Gold Partner focused on the deployment of Microsoft technologies for U.S. and international companies. For over 15 years, Microsoft and its partners have recommended the Henson Group for licensing, consulting, and managed services to corporations large and small alike. Led by the CEO, Greg Henson (Chief Awesome Officer, as he is popularly known to his team), Henson Group has won dozens of awards and hundreds of clients world-wide.

Innovative technologies can help all organizations respond to workplace trends and create dynamic environments that incentivize and empower the next generation of employees. More so, as the CEO puts it, “In the modern workforce, out of sight doesn’t mean out of mind”. Modern businesses are evolving to better accommodate a wider range of business scenarios and work styles. Given the scalable nature of the Microsoft partner model, customers started raising queries about the licensing and costs. This moved Microsoft to make a change in the concept. Thenceforth, partners were put in charge of resolving the customer queries and problem solving. Customers may buy the Microsoft products and solutions directly, after which the partners will take over. Henson Group looked through the opportunity scope and volunteered for becoming the Cloud Service Partner.This strategy has registered itself as the turning point for the organization.

People of Solid Microsoft Product Experience
The majority of Henson Group architects, engineers, and developers are former Microsoft employees.

This only means that the company has relationships with Microsoft product groups and executives giving the people access to roadmaps and knowledge not generally available to similar partners in the market. Henson Group’s present day count is 150+ employees and partners servicing hundreds of clients in dozens of industries. From Cloud to On-premise Project Delivery, and Support to Licensing - the Henson Group consistently delivers world-class results for its clients worldwide. The company started off from the US, entered the United Kingdom, Canada, Latin America, India, Australia, Philippines and Africa. India has been a very rich and responsive market for the Henson Group. As SVP at Henson Group, Abheek Dutta mentions,in terms of delivery, “India has been the base outsourcing offshore models to other customer base overseas. The group is also offering cloud solutions in India to Indian customers”.
