Global Microsoft Partners Henson Group, myCloudDoor Unite as Aliando
Henson Group and myCloudDoor have officially merged, launching a combined Microsoft solutions provider now named Aliando.
The new firm touts itself as a leading Azure Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) and among the top 1 percent of Microsoft partners globally. In a prepared statement, Chris Danelz, Microsoft's GM of global channel partner solutions, alled the union "a huge win for Microsoft and customers everywhere."
Aliando aims to double its professional and managed service capabilities worldwide, and to enhance service delivery across the Microsoft stack, spanning Azure, Modern Work, Data & AI, Business Applications, Cybersecurity, and niche offerings like SAP on Azure, Azure VMware Solutions, Copilot and Azure OpenAI. Aliando also intends to establish new Cloud Centers of Excellence spanning the Americas, EMEA and APAC.
This merger aligns with accelerating cloud market consolidation amid rising demand for enterprise AI and cybersecurity. Customers are increasingly prioritizing integrated AI‑capable, secure, cloud-native platforms, a niche Aliando aims to fill.
