NashTech earns AI Apps on Microsoft Azure specialization

Written by Ella | Jul 27, 2026 12:52:24 PM

Many organisations can identify promising artificial intelligence (AI) use cases. Turning those ideas into secure, scalable applications that deliver measurable value is much harder.

NashTech has earned the AI Apps on Microsoft Azure specialization. This Microsoft-backed recognition validates our ability to design, develop and deliver production-ready AI solutions on Azure.

The achievement reflects the continued growth of our Microsoft relationship and the strength of our global engineering capability. It also demonstrates our ability to help customers move AI initiatives beyond experimentation and into practical business use.

What this means for customers

The specialization strengthens NashTech’s ability to support customers across the AI application lifecycle. We can help organisations:

  • Identify and prioritise viable AI use cases
  • Design secure and scalable Azure AI architectures
  • Build AI-enabled applications and intelligent agents
  • Modernise existing applications with Azure AI capabilities
  • Integrate AI with enterprise data, workflows and platforms
  • Apply AI across the software development lifecycle
  • Move successful proofs of value into production and broader adoption

The specialization may also help NashTech connect qualifying customer initiatives with Microsoft technical specialists, co-sell support and investment programmes. Access remains subject to Microsoft’s eligibility and programme requirements.

NashTech brings application engineering, modernisation and transformation expertise. Microsoft brings the Azure platform, specialist ecosystem and potential programme resources. Together, we can create a stronger path from an initial idea to a measurable customer outcome.

Independent validation of our expertise

Microsoft specializations validate technical expertise beyond its broader Solutions Partner designations.

To earn this specialization, NashTech demonstrated certified technical capability, qualifying customer success and repeatable delivery processes. These capabilities were assessed through an independent third-party audit.

This validation matters because customers need more than an AI strategy or an isolated proof of concept. They need a partner that can establish the right architecture, integrate AI with existing applications and enterprise data, and manage security and governance requirements. They also need solutions that can operate reliably at scale.

The specialization provides Microsoft-backed assurance that NashTech has the skills, delivery experience and operational discipline to support that journey.

“This specialization gives customers independent assurance that NashTech has the technical expertise and delivery discipline to move AI initiatives into production. It also strengthens our ability to work with Microsoft and connect qualifying customers with relevant technical support and programmes.”

Applying AI to what we build and how we build it

NashTech believes that leading organisations must both use AI and produce AI.

For our customers, we build AI-enabled applications, integrate intelligence into business processes and modernise existing platforms using Microsoft Azure AI capabilities.

Within our delivery organisation, we also apply AI across the software development lifecycle. This includes how our teams plan, design, develop, test, document and maintain software.

This approach reflects the broader shift towards what Microsoft describes as Frontier Firms: organisations redesigning work around collaboration between people, AI and agents.

For NashTech, this does not simply mean producing code faster. It means combining experienced engineering judgement with AI-enabled delivery practices. This can help improve quality, shorten feedback cycles, increase developer productivity and create more capacity for innovation.

Our experience using AI within our own delivery practices also gives us practical insight into the organisational, technical and governance considerations our customers face.

Built through global collaboration

The achievement was made possible by the commitment of our technical teams in Vietnam and delivery teams across NashTech’s global organisation. Our colleagues completed the required technical certifications, demonstrated customer delivery success and established the repeatable processes assessed during the independent audit.

This work required a meaningful investment of time, expertise and cross-functional collaboration. It demonstrates the strength of NashTech’s global delivery model and our commitment to maintaining consistently high standards across customer engagements.

Strengthening our relationship with Microsoft

The AI Apps on Microsoft Azure specialization marks another important step in NashTech’s relationship with Microsoft.

Our collaboration extends beyond technical accreditation. It increasingly includes technical enablement, customer opportunities, co-sell activity, marketplace initiatives, investment programmes and joint go-to-market activity.

Microsoft recently hosted a Build event at NashTech’s offices. The event brought developers and cloud engineers together to explore the latest Microsoft technologies and practical approaches to building AI-powered applications.

Engagements like this bring together Microsoft technology, NashTech engineering talent and a shared focus on customer outcomes. They also create opportunities for our teams to develop their expertise and apply new capabilities to practical customer challenges.

Moving AI initiatives into production

AI is changing both what organisations build and how they build it.

Our role is to help customers navigate that change pragmatically. We identify the right opportunities, establish strong technical and governance foundations, and deliver solutions that are secure, scalable and connected to meaningful business outcomes.

Earning the AI Apps on Microsoft Azure specialization is an important validation of our capability. It also provides a foundation for the next stage of our AI journey.

Organisations considering an AI application, intelligent agent, application modernisation initiative or broader transformation of the software development lifecycle can work with NashTech to shape the opportunity. We can also help align the appropriate Microsoft resources and build a practical path from concept to production.
