Sterling, an industry-leading technology solutions provider, is proud to announce that its own Davina Armstrong-Cruz<\/a>, Senior Technical Architect, has earned a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award in the category of Windows & Devices for IT.<\/p>\n

For over two decades, Microsoft\u2019s MVP Awards have been recognizing technology experts and community leaders who actively support technical communities through unique, innovative, and consistent knowledge sharing. These community leaders possess deep knowledge of Microsoft products and services, while also being able to bring together diverse platforms, products, and solutions to solve real-world problems. Likewise, they consistently contribute to the developer and IT Pro communities, helping them learn, build, and use Microsoft products. With just over 3,000 total awardees around the globe, Microsoft MVPs represent a highly select group of individuals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis prestigious acclamation celebrates Davina\u2019s advocacy and passion for Digital Workspace technologies,\u201d says Ira Bargon, Director of Technology and Innovation at Sterling. \u201cThere are only 58 individuals in the world who are an MVP in this specific category, and Davina is only the fourth<\/em> female professional to ever achieve this distinction. Needless to say, we are proud of her efforts, and we thank her for providing a tremendous example of Sterling\u2019s technical talent and capabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

In order to qualify for an MVP Award, applicants must meet four key criteria: They must demonstrate community influence and leadership; they must be a technical expert in their field; they must act as an advocate for the wider technology community; and they must contribute to the overall success of Microsoft\u2019s products.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a recipient of this year\u2019s Microsoft MVP award, Davina joins an exceptional group of individuals from around the world who have demonstrated a willingness to reach out, share their technical expertise with others, and help individuals maximize their use of technology,\u201d adds The Microsoft Most Valuable Professional Award Team. \u201cMVPs are technology\u2019s best and brightest, and we are honored to welcome Davina as one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n
