HSO UK  announces the appointment of Craig Russell

Part of HSO’s commitment to bolster its end-to-end cloud services portfolio, Craig joins the organisation with a wealth of experience in cloud solutions, digital transformation, and business applications, gained from years working at Microsoft and its partners, where he has  delivered solutions in the Microsoft business applications and Power Platform space. His appointment represents HSO’s ambitious efforts to meet growing demand for streamlined, full-service cloud solutions that simplify operations and enhance value for customers globally.

In discussing his new role, Craig said,

By positioning itself as a complete cloud services provider within the Microsoft ecosystem, HSO aims to deliver tailored, scalable services, from infrastructure management to specialised applications and industry-specific solutions. This approach ensures a comprehensive engagement where clients no longer need to juggle multiple service providers or face disruptions from piecemeal implementations. The consistency HSO provides aligns with customers’ increasing preference for unified cloud service partners that can support them across multiple locations and service lines.

Another essential element of HSO’s vision is HSO's commitment to delivering real-time insights and advanced analytics to clients. By using Microsoft’s growing AI capabilities, HSO can provide customers with actionable insights, empowering decision-makers across industries to make data-driven decisions.

Craig emphasised that today's businesses need a deeper understanding of their data to unlock value from AI, noting, “AI only truly adds value when the data feeding into it is meaningful and well understood by the organisation.”
