CHICAGO, Dec. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- 10th Magnitude, a four-year-old, Chicago-based cloud services firm, has been awarded Gold Cloud Platform status for its work with Microsoft's Azure Cloud platform. A rapidly growing Microsoft Partner, 10th Magnitude is one of the first companies in the United States to qualify for this prestigious level of Microsoft Azure competency.

The Gold Cloud Platform status signals a significant level of success working with customers to build and deploy Azure-based solutions. "We have been working with Microsoft Azure since its launch four years ago," says 10th Magnitude CEO Alex Brown, "and achieving Gold status is a great validation of our investment in and knowledge of the platform. We made the decision to work with Microsoft because Azure offers a robust platform on which to deploy and operate mission-critical applications, and we strive to be the foremost experts in using the technology to add quantifiable business value for our clients."

10th Magnitude helps companies—including kCura, Walsh Construction and Holden International—make their businesses operate more effectively using the power of the cloud.

10th Magnitude has been growing at a rapid pace since opening its doors in 2010 just as cloud appeared on the tech landscape. Since September 1st, the company has increased staff by 64%. To accommodate their growth, 10th Magnitude has now moved into new custom-built space at the Civic Opera Building at 20 North Wacker Drive in Chicago's Loop. Previously headquartered in the West Loop, the company more than doubled their footprint with the move to Civic.
