Modernization of Web Applications to Microsoft Azure Advanced Specialization

Vietnam – Harvey Nash today announced it has earned the Modernization of Web Applications to Microsoft Azure advanced specialization, a validation of a solution partner’s deep knowledge, extensive experience and proven expertise in migrating and modernizing production web application workloads, and managing app services in Azure.  

Only partners that meet stringent criteria around customer success and staff skilling, as well as pass a third-party audit of their web workload deployment and management practices, including their ability to implement Azure App Service, are able to earn the Modernization of Web Applications to Microsoft Azure advanced specialization. 

As companies look to modernize their applications and take full advantage of the benefits that cloud computing can deliver, they are looking for a partner with advanced skills to migrate, optimize, and manage their existing web workloads to the cloud.  

Speaking about the achievement, Nick Lonsdale, CEO of NashTech (formerly known as Harvey Nash Vietnam), shared:

“At our company, we are always wanting to offer our clients something different from our competition. Earning the Modernization of Web Applications to Microsoft Azure advanced specialization underlines another strong offering to clients and it strengthens our partner network relationship with Microsoft. It’s a shout-out to our amazing teams and further differentiates us to our clients.
