The company was honored among a global field of top Microsoft partners for demonstrating innovation, local market leadership, and excellence in implementing client solutions based on Microsoft technology. 

Insight Canada was awarded Country Partner of the Year, in part for pioneering a comprehensive "Client Zero" approach that transitions organizations from initial AI experimentation to long-term business outcomes. Insight Canada established enterprise-grade AI governance and operationalized agentic AI across its own 1,000-employee workforce, reaching a 98% active Microsoft 365 Copilot adoption rate. By testing and running production-grade AI tools internally first, Insight Canada has developed a repeatable framework designed to accelerate AI readiness, security, and workload deployment for clients. 

"Being recognized as the Microsoft Canada Country Partner of the Year validates our commitment to walking the talk as Client Zero," said Reem Gedeon, senior vice president and general manager of Insight Canada." By living the full AI lifecycle across our own teams, we've delivered proven frameworks, strict governance, and maximized speed to value for Canadian organizations accelerating their AI capabilities. We are honoured that Microsoft has recognized our dedication to delivering impact for small and mid-market businesses in the Canadian market.” 

In addition to earning Canada Country Partner of the Year, Insight was also recognized globally with several other awards: Scale Solutions Partner of the Year, Americas Channel Partner of the Year, as well as earning a finalist position for Surface Partner of the Year. 

“Congratulations to Insight on being named Canada's Country Partner of the Year,” said Ehsan Youssef, country leader and general manager, SME&C at Microsoft Canada. “Insight exemplifies the power of partnership in helping Canadian organizations achieve more.
