Xebia joins hands with Microsoft for its first tech blog-a-thon

Xebia, the US-headquartered IT consultancy firm, has joined hands with Microsoft for their first blog-a-thon contest. The event is open to IT professionals, students, developers, and leaders where they can come together to share solutions on a pre-identified list of topics that are critical for business applications.

The blog-a-thon will be held from February 2-25, and will provide participants with the opportunity to discuss solutions on real time subjects and issues and get involved with actionable change. The blogs will be evaluated by the Xebia- Microsoft jury and winners will be provided a global visibility to showcase their perspectives and win prizes along with Azure credits and mentoring sessions by Xebia and Microsoft subject matter experts.

This initiative will not only enable the students to showcase their skills but also get the right exposure for future career endeavours. Seasoned professionals, developers and leaders on the other hand will have their tech strategy heard in the right way globally.

Anand Sahay, CEO - Xebia, said, “People from different walks of life are intrigued by the way technology is progressing at a profuse rate, shaping our lives into the digital world. Writing is something that not only helps one enhance domain knowledge but also allows you to showcase your expertise or share your learnings with others as well.”

The contest will give its participants the right exposure and experience that subsequently will help current and aspiring tech professions the chance to grow, be it being able to improve their research and writing skills or add significant value to their resumes.

And those who are already leaders in their domain will get the opportunity to make the tech world think, connect various disparate concepts, and invent new ways to add value in the tech constituents.
