Ben Robb, senior technical consultant at cScape, has received the prestigious Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award from Microsoft for the second year in a row.
Microsoft MVPs are a highly select group of experts who represent the technical community's best and brightest, and they share a deep commitment to community and a willingness to help others. Ben received the Microsoft MVP award in recognition of his exceptional technical community leadership, and for regularly volunteering high quality, practical expert advice in offline and online communities.
Ben joins a worldwide community of approximately 100 Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) MVPs, and is one of five SharePoint MVPs in the UK. Furthermore, he is the only MVP that works for a digital agency. He said: “I’m thrilled to have been recognised for another year. I see it as an opportunity to further strengthen the community around SharePoint technologies.”
Ben was an early adopter of MOSS and has continually helped others to solve problems and discover new capabilities of the technology. He led the team that completed the world’s first live implementation of MOSS for the stylish Hed Kandi website, the Ministry of Sound dance label, and has spoken at a number of international conferences and user group meetings over the past two years.
Rob Killick, CEO at cScape, commented: “I’m delighted that, through Ben, cScape has been recognised for being at the forefront of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and that cScape is the only digital agency to boast having a SharePoint MVP on our staff. We are currently working with a range of clients, helping them to adopt MOSS. We value our Microsoft relationship highly and feel that this award really cements our partnership.”
Ben, 32, has worked at cScape for 10years and has played a major role in all of the company’s technical adoptions. The MVP award recognises his active and long-standing engagement in the Microsoft community.
