Microsoft award goes to Carina Claesson - another MVP at CRM-Konsulterna

“Most Valuable Professional” – MVP for short – is Microsoft's award to thank those who are involved in Microsoft’s Community and who contribute and share their expertise. The award is presented in various areas, and Carina Claesson of CRM-Konsulterna is now the fourth Swedish MVP to be chosen in the category “Business Applications.” She shares the honor together with previous winners Gustaf Westerlund, Jonas Rapp and Sara Lagerquist, all from CRM-Konsulterna. What they share is a strong interest and extensive knowledge in areas related to Microsoft's products and services.

Carina Claesson's journey with Microsoft began in 2009, when she started working exclusively with Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Since then, Carina has been involved in Microsoft’s Community and contributed in a variety of ways. A year ago, Carina started blogging about her own research and what she learns. On her blog, she also shares solutions that others can benefit from. In addition to the blog, Carina has participated in various events as a speaker; for example, at Power Platform Saturday Sweden last year and the Scottish Summit this year. Carina says she is honored to receive the award and has begun to look at how she can use any new information she gains access to.

“I'm starting to get acquainted with how to access all the new information from Microsoft and what new ways I can be involved in contributing to Community areas in the future,” says Carina. ”At the same time, I have several new projects going full swing, and I am passionate about developing new products based on, among other things, Microsoft Power Platform, which creates unique conditions for tailored solutions for our customers,” she continues.

For Carina, the award means a closer relationship with Microsoft and greater insight into what’s new for Microsoft's products and services. It also means being part of a large network around the world with other people who have expertise specifically in different parts of Microsoft Business Applications.

For CRM-Konsulterna, the award is nice acknowledgment that hard work on innovation pays off.

“We are strengthening our Community around Power Platform and Dynamics – both for customers and industry colleagues,” says Kathrine Hogseth, CEO of CRM-Konsulterna. “This type of commitment is strongly linked to our values at CRM-Konsulterna, where we constantly strive for a win-win situation for our collaborations and deliveries – we want to share our expertise and knowledge.”

The MVP award offers winners the chance to take part in innovative conversations and the latest in business development, both in Sweden and internationally, where there are various forums to discuss experiences and knowledge. For those involved here in Sweden, for example, Power Platform Community Sweden is used to keep in touch.

“I am delighted that the work I’ve done related to Community has led to this award, and it’s incredibly exciting to be gaining all the new opportunities that come with it,” says Carina.

“Our MVPs are proof of that we are highly qualified when it comes to creating good and systematic business relationships, something we always strive for,” says Kathrine.
