Stratis, the blockchain focused on business applications today announced that it has been certified as a Microsoft Silver Partner. The Stratis mission is to get C# blockchain technologies in front of enterprise customers.

This partnership comes at a critical and exciting time for Stratis; the services which constitute the core Stratis Platform, including smart contracts, sidechains, and the enterprise-focused Stratis DLT, are set to be released in the next few months.

The Azure Marketplace gives app and service providers access to 120,000 enterprise customers and 800,000 ecosystem partners in 190 countries. Microsoft actively helps to guide customers to their partners, and partners are given resources which allow them to increase their product’s exposure on Microsoft’s Go-To-Market Services.
