ePlus Expands Microsoft Partnership as Margins Decline
ePlus announced an expanded Microsoft footprint aimed at adding a specialized Microsoft team to support growth across Azure, Microsoft 365, security, and Copilot. The move follows first-quarter FY2027 results with sales rising but profit slipping: managed services revenue grew 15.1% to $51.3M while net earnings fell 5.4% to $30.3M, and gross margin dropped to 23.3% amid margin compression and delayed shipments from a memory chip shortage.
