As Microsoft marks its 50th anniversary, we at Burzcast proudly join the global celebration of a company that has not only shaped the world of technology but has also deeply influenced our own story, every step of the way.

For us, this is more than just a milestone—it’s a moment of gratitude, reflection, and appreciation for a partnership that has transformed our business and fueled our growth over the past 15 years.

Our journey with technology began humbly in 1998, with a 686 PC running Windows 95. It was on that machine that our founder began exploring programming with Pascal, creating small applications for friends and discovering the excitement and power of software. That spark quickly turned into a lifelong passion.

In 2006, our path continued through hands-on work at a local computer shop—configuring hardware, repairing systems, and supporting early digital transformation efforts for local clients. But by 2009, we took a leap of faith: we incorporated our first business and decided to shift focus entirely to software development.

That’s when our partnership with Microsoft truly began.

Since then, Microsoft has been at the heart of everything we’ve built. From the early days of Visual Studio and .NET Framework, to embracing cloud technologies, AI, and enterprise productivity tools, Microsoft has been our most trusted platform and partner. Their ecosystem gave us the foundation to innovate securely, scale globally, and deliver powerful, reliable, and transformative solutions for our clients.

Today, we rely on Microsoft technologies more than ever. Azure powers our infrastructure. Azure AI helps us build intelligent, efficient, and impactful applications. Microsoft 365 keeps our team connected, productive, and collaborative. Whether we’re supporting multinational corporations, building cross-platform software, or architecting secure cloud-native apps, Microsoft tools are deeply embedded in our DNA.

Over the past 15 years as proud Microsoft Partners, we’ve seen firsthand how Microsoft’s unwavering commitment to innovation and excellence pushes the entire industry forward. And as we look to the future—with exciting advancements in AI, cloud, quantum computing, and developer platforms—we are more inspired than ever.

We would not be here without Microsoft. And for that, we say: thank you.

Thank you for being a constant force of innovation. Thank you for empowering businesses like ours to dream big and build boldly. And most importantly, thank you for the partnership that has carried us forward for a decade and a half—and counting.

Happy 50th Anniversary, Microsoft. Here’s to the next 50. We’ll be right there with you.
