We are sure you are aware by now of the Global IT problems being experienced by many companies as a result of issues with an update in CrowdStrike's product.   Being a Microsoft Security based business, Chorus do not use Crowdstrike and therefore our customers have not been directly impacted, however we are seeing some impact due to third party applications and suppliers. We continue to provide support where we can.   We know how much of a challenging time this is for those working with or at Crowdstrike and we wish for a quick and positive outcome. If your organisation is impacted, we are here along with the many other MSSPs and MSPs ready to help if at all possible. https://lnkd.in/eEr3UbYw

Thank you to Bristol Animal Rescue Centre for having some of our team for a volunteering day! We had an amazing time making toys for the rescued animals - such as cat scratchers and dog tug toys. We hope the animals love their new toys and we loved supporting a local charity that is doing fantastic things for animals within Bristol. Thank you to Sarah Sprason Harriet Montague Toby Lassauzet and Rico! #BristolARC #AnimalRescue #Volunteering

🚨Microsoft have announced that they will be retiring their Nonprofit Fundraising & Engagement accelerator in 2026. For organisations using the nonprofit accelerator there will be no more product enhancements but you will continue receiving security updates until 31 December 2026. But what does this mean long-term? Organisations will need to move away to partner-built solutions to meet requirements and avoid bespoke development on Microsoft Dynamics 365. Our nonprofit accelerator Evo 365, is not built on the Microsoft Cloud for Nonprofit - so for our existing customers this announcement has no impact on your system. If you'd like to find out more about the retirement and how Evo 365 may be able to help your charity, you can find out more here: https://okt.to/dMO1KQ #Microsoftnonprofit #nfptech #TechforSocialImpact #TSI #charityCRM

We are one of the UK's leading Microsoft partners and this is something we are very proud of. We've focused on Microsoft technologies ever since we began and first became a partner in 2004 - and we've come a long way since. Our Managed Security services are one of the very few to have been awarded Microsoft-verified MXDR solution status, which means that Microsoft engineering have reviewed our CSOC services and architecture and verified its quality. We are also members of the Microsoft Security Intelligent Association (MISA), which is comprised of some the most reliable and trusted security companies across the globe. Alongside this, we also hold Solutions Designations in Security, Modern Work, Infrastructure and Digital App & Innovation - as well as Advanced Specialisations in Threat Protection, Identity & Access Management and Information Protection & Governance. All of this is thanks to our incredible people, as we have some of the most talented Microsoft experts in the UK working with us. Achieving these accreditations is no small undertaking and the amount of training, time, investment and customer success required to get to where we are is something to celebrate 🏆 #MSPartners #MISA #MXDR #BetterTogether #MicrosoftSecurity

Proud! ❤️🧡💛💚💙🩷💜🤍🖤 We loved celebrating Pride month during June. Some of our highlights included: 🥪🧁 Pride picnic and celebration - getting everyone together to celebrate Pride and socialise in the office and online, wearing bright colours to celebrate all the colours of the pride flag. 💡🏳️🌈 Pride Lunch & learn – empowerment through education. We had a brilliant lunch & learn from our BizApps Manager Richard Graves & Head of New Business Development Ben D. who discussed Pride, its importance, what the flag represents, shared stories and answered lots of great questions. It was a brilliant half an hour with so many insights that got us all learning more on Pride and its history and importance. We hope everyone enjoyed celebrating Pride – but of course, it’s not just about one month of the year. Inclusivity is vital every day. Our MD, Nicola Saner wrote an article earlier in the year around the importance of equality, diversity and inclusion in business, which we recommend reading to show why inclusion is so important: https://lnkd.in/d3FTFeeK #Pride2024 #EDI #InclusionMatters
