Congratulations and thank you to all of our partners who participated in the MuleSoft PKO Certification Champions contest! With your help, we raised $10,000 for the UN World Food Program! The contest ran from February 20 – March 20, 2021, and the race to get certified was fierce. We’re excited to celebrate those victories here.
The contest rules were simple: partner organizations competed against similar organizations within their MuleSoft partner tier — and the more developers and architects in their organization that got certified, the more likely it was that their team would win.
So we want to say “congratulations!” to our winning partner organizations, along with their MuleSoft developers and architects whose hard work paid off.
