Block achieves Microsoft Gold Partner status
We are delighted to announce that Block has achieved Microsoft Gold Partner status in the Cloud Platform competency.

That’s why we work closely with our partners, like Microsoft, using our combined experience to modernise, transform and unlock rapid opportunities for more flexible, connected, and intuitive experiences.
