In May, I set a target of obtaining accreditation as a Microsoft Certified Solution Expert in Data Management and Analytics by the end of June. I really wanted to pick up this accreditation because whilst Microsoft will put an end to these exams in 2021, they remain valid for 3 years and there’s a fair amount of value (in my opinion) in capping off my 15 years experience with this cert to compliment some of the newer role-based certifications designed around the Azure platform.
