Wortell named Microsoft Channel Copilot Partner of the Year Netherlands

Lijnden, 13 November 2025 — During the Microsoft Partner of the Year Awards 2025, Wortell was recognized as Channel Copilot Partner of the Year Netherlands.

This recognition emphasizes Wortell's expertise in guiding organizations in the responsible and scalable use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). With demonstrable results in the areas of productivity, job satisfaction and data security, Wortell shows how Microsoft Copilot can contribute to a human-centric digital transformation in sectors ranging from healthcare to financial services.
 

Strategic choice for Microsoft Copilot

Over the past two years, Wortell has helped countless organizations adopt AI. In doing so, the company has made a clear choice for Microsoft Copilot. Although there are several Large Language Models (LLMs) available, Microsoft Copilot is the only general LLM with a DPIA validated by the Dutch government. The strength of Copilot also lies in the ability to work with company data in a secure and compliant manner.

However, Microsoft Copilot is much more than an LLM to which users can ask context-sensitive questions. It is a springboard to AI Agents within organizations, a next step in which AI not only supports, but also independently controls and accelerates processes. With this, Copilot opens the door to a new phase of digital maturity.
 

"What really inspires me is how Wortell has turned this success into a repeatable framework. You have shown that with the right mix of technology, training and attention, you can scale AI in a responsible way within organizations, in order to increase human impact." - Frank Verlaan, Channel Sales Director, Microsoft

More efficient processes thanks to AI support

In a variety of sectors, Wortell has helped organizations to harness the power of Copilot. By using Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Chat and custom solutions via Copilot Studio , organizations transformed their work processes into an AI-driven work environment in which technology gives time back to employees. 
 

Responsible and sustainable AI adoption

Wortell's approach goes beyond technical implementation. Through a structured program, the Copilot Flight Academy, employees at all levels are trained to become AI ambassadors. As a result, knowledge, trust and support grow exponentially in a short period of time.

"AI only has value if it actually contributes to human well-being, productivity and safety," says Arno Grooteman, Director AI Business Solutions at Wortell. "Wortell not only helps organizations with the use of Copilot. What Wortell is really unique in is that it ensures that customer employees really start working with AI and that AI Agents are put into use. As a result, customers experience enormous added value from AI."

Femke Cornelissen, Chief Copilot at Wortell, adds: "We combine technical expertise with adoption programs. In this way, Copilot will not just become a tool, but an integral part of daily practice: safe, efficient and people-oriented."

AI as a strategic pillar

"This award confirms that our AI vision works," says Danny Burlage, CEO of Wortell. "We help organizations to turn technology into tangible value: less administrative burden, more job satisfaction and better results. In other words: technology that empowers people."
