It’s only February and 2018 already unleashed another huge win for Avanade: Sitecore just revealed that eleven of our team members earned Most Valuable Professional (MVP) status for actively sharing their Sitecore knowledge across online and offline communities. Our MVPs across North America, Europe, and Asia represent a global team of passionate pros who demonstrate the unique ability to translate deep technical know-how into tangible business impact.

For our team members to earn such a coveted credential while balancing their day-to-day priorities says a great deal about them as individuals, community influencers, and technical subject matter experts.
