Quisitive has announced six consultants recognized as 2026 Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals, giving the Dallas-based Microsoft partner representation across Copilot Studio, Azure Virtual Desktop, Microsoft 365, SharePoint, PowerShell, Azure operations, and developer technologies.
The July 29 announcement, distributed by PR Newswire, identifies Muhammad Atif, Chris Cavazos, Steve Corey, Matthew Dowst, Cameron Fuller, and Muhammad Sami Ullah as the company’s MVPs. For customers using Quisitive for Microsoft cloud, AI, Dynamics 365, and workplace projects, the immediate value is less about a badge than access to practitioners with established public technical-community work in the platforms being deployed.
Quisitive’s 2026 MVP roster is unusually broad for a consulting firm, combining business applications and Microsoft 365 expertise with Azure infrastructure, operations, automation, and developer tools:
That distinction matters for enterprise buyers. An MVP award does not independently validate a consultancy’s delivery methodology, security posture, support model, or project outcomes. It can, however, be a useful signal that a team has people who actively test, explain, and contribute feedback on rapidly changing Microsoft products rather than simply implementing them after broad release.
Quisitive says its MVPs receive earlier visibility into product roadmaps and can engage with Microsoft engineering teams. Customers should treat that as an opportunity for better-informed architectural discussions, not as a guarantee of privileged support or advance access to unreleased features.
Cameron Fuller’s award was separately announced by Quisitive in May, with the company citing his work in Azure observability, automation, dashboards, and cloud operations. Quisitive also named Michael Roughsedge CEO in May and achieved Microsoft Frontier Partner status that month, positioning its consulting practice around secure AI transformation.
For IT leaders, the test is whether that expertise shows up in tangible work: safer Copilot Studio agent designs, cleaner Azure monitoring baselines, repeatable PowerShell automation, and deployment guidance that fits a customer’s identity, compliance, and support requirements. The six recognitions give Quisitive a stronger set of named experts to put in front of those conversations.

An MVP award is individual recognition, not a partner certification
Microsoft MVP status recognizes individual contributors for technical expertise and sustained community leadership, such as speaking, writing, and helping peers in technical communities. It is separate from Microsoft partner designations and specializations, which evaluate an organization’s delivery capabilities and customer outcomes.That distinction matters for enterprise buyers. An MVP award does not independently validate a consultancy’s delivery methodology, security posture, support model, or project outcomes.

Copilot and Azure make up the practical center of gravity
The group’s emphasis tracks where Microsoft customers are concentrating difficult modernization work: governing Copilot and agents, operating Azure reliably, automating infrastructure, modernizing virtual desktops, and connecting business applications to cloud services.Cameron Fuller’s award was separately announced by Quisitive in May, with the company citing his work in Azure observability, automation, dashboards, and cloud operations.
