Together, we are PC Connection’s Microsoft Center of Excellence, and we are over 100 people dedicated to your success in all things Microsoft. As PC Connection, we are 2,400 people dedicated to your success in all things IT. Specifically, here’s what you get when you partner with us:
Combined experience of over 70 years: We’ve been helping customers achieve their Microsoft goals for a long time. The average tenure in our COE is 10 years, and some of us have been doing this for 20 years. We remember when there was no such thing as an Enterprise Agreement, and we’ve been there with our customers through the rise of the Internet, the explosion of e-commerce, globalization, and now the cloud. Our customers adapt and evolve, and so do we.

Technical expertise and capabilities: Together we have over 500 experts to help with everything from migrating workloads to the cloud to optimizing an on-premises data center, and everything in between. We offer everything from front-line support to fully managed services.
Operational Excellence: Strategic-level expertise means nothing if you can’t support the day-to-day flow of the business just as effectively. PC Connection and Softmart are proud of our combined 15 years of winning Microsoft’s top-level Operational Excellence Award. Our Concierge Services program ensures you get timely, relevant and proactive support as well – whether it’s redeeming SA Benefits or preparing for a True-Up.
