Neil Cockerham - Principal Advisor

Face picture of Neil

Neil has created an independent Microsoft technology advisory, licensing and commercial strategy practice. It exists for one purpose: to ensure that organisations get the best possible strategic and commercial outcomes from their Microsoft relationships.Following a long career at Microsoft across a number of Technology Strategy and Commercial Sales roles, Neil most recently led the negotiations of complex deals and partnerships with some of the world's largest organisations. His prior experience in Technology Strategy for global and UK-based Financial Services clients has enabled him to have a unique understanding of how the full portfolio of Microsoft solutions are positioned, then purchased and real-world usage within organisations and the ecosystem of Microsoft partners.The simple premise: the most valuable advisor around any Microsoft engagement is one who has years of experience of how Microsoft thinks, can act without conflict of interest, independently and respecting confidentiality, aligning clients and Microsoft in a strong partnership. That knowledge cannot be acquired purely from a licensing guide or a partner accreditation. It comes from having sat on the other side of the table for over two decades in various roles.Get in touch below if interested in engaging with the practice.
