At CleverIt, we hold two advanced specializations from our partner Microsoft: Migrate Enterprise Applications to Microsoft Azure And Accelerate Developer Productivity with Microsoft Azure — the second one renewed for the third consecutive year. These certifications are Microsoft's direct endorsement of our expertise in helping companies modernize their systems and enabling development teams to build and scale faster in the cloud.

In this blog, we talk about application modernization with Diego Pinto, Solutions Architect at CleverIT.

‍

Let's start with the basics. What does application modernization mean today?

D: Application modernization means transforming legacy systems into secure, scalable, and high-performing cloud-native solutions. At CleverIT, we help organizations move away from on-premise infrastructure, reduce technical debt, and boost performance — always putting business needs first.

‍

What does CleverIt offer in this service?

D: It's more than just migrations. We deliver a full strategy, with the right tools and a skilled team to redesign applications from the ground up. The goal isn’t just to move to the cloud, but to unlock its full potential from day one — optimizing for cost, performance, and security

What would you say sets CleverIt apart from other providers?

D: Our agile, business-first approach and fully customized solutions. Every modernization journey is unique — we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. We focus on seamless integrations, flexible architectures, and delivering a strong user experience, aligning every step with your current priorities and budget. It’s about preparing your business for tomorrow, without losing sight of what matters today.

‍

What is CleverIT's new specialization about?

D: We recently earned the Migrate Enterprise Applications to Microsoft Azure advanced specialization. And it’s not just another badge — it’s a rigorous validation from Microsoft that confirms we meet the highest standards in designing cloud-native architectures on Azure, delivering secure and scalable migrations from legacy environments, showcasing proven customer success stories, and having a certified team that follows best practices at every stage.

‍

What does this mean for clients?

D: More confidence, faster results, and better ROI. When you work with a Microsoft-certified partner like us, you know your modernization process is in expert hands — whether you’re transforming one critical system or your entire application portfolio.

Any final thoughts?

D: I’d say modernization isn’t just about updating tech. It’s about opening new opportunities and getting your business ready to grow. With the right partner — like CleverIT — that journey can be smoother and more cost-effective than you think.
