Microsoft Philippines specifically cited Gurango Software’s achievement in exceeding its fiscal year target in this segment by 40% and posting year-on-year growth of 50%.
The company received the SMSP Partner of the Year award as well.

Gurango Software exceeded its target revenue by 141% and achieved 50% year-onyear growth in this segment.
