NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 5, 2018 -- Kraft Technology Group, LLC today announced that it has successfully completed the MSPAlliance's MSP/Cloud Verify Program (MSPCV) certification process, the oldest certification program for cloud computing and managed services providers.

"The MSPCV certification is a rigorous process that benchmarks and verifies the quality of the company providing cloud and/or managed services," said Celia Weaver, MSPAlliance president. "We are very proud to have Kraft Technology Group as a member of this elite community of MSPs and cloud providers."
