By working with Six Degrees, Fortem is benefitting from enhanced security and scalability – giving its clients confidence that it is aligning with the latest best practices.

- Leveraging the latest Microsoft tooling. Being in the Microsoft ecosystem enables Fortem to take advantage of the latest Microsoft tooling as it evolves.

“That client-first approach carries a huge amount of weight, because it shows that Six Degrees is looking at the situation through our eyes. It’s the kind of thing that separates a supplier relationship from a true partnership. What we have with Six Degrees is a true partnership that we really value.”
