Be Successful with Microsoft Programs

In addition to the events listed above, there are other more focused programs available to you and your group to help accelerate your application development and modernization efforts.

  • Microsoft Technology Centers (MTC) delivery immersive industry experiences and deep technical engagements focused on business outcomes. Experienced Microsoft architects help ideate on new projects, solve business problems, perform architectural reviews/designs, co-build rapid prototypes, run hackathons, and provide focused learnings on specific topics.
  • App Modernization Assessments provide holistic views of your application estate for cloud readiness, and recommendations for modernizing those apps to the Azure platform. Register for a webinar on Dec 7th to learn more.
  • Azure App of the Future is a 5-day engagement with a certified Microsoft partner to quickly get a new cloud-native app off the ground. This includes design, prototyping, and solution architecture.

(All of these programs are fully funded by Microsoft. Let me know if you’d like to chat to learn more and get your organization enrolled!)

As a reminder, as your Microsoft App Innovation Specialist I focus on helping customers innovate in a cloud-first world. My goal is to help teams:

  • Modernize applications to the cloud to speed delivery, increase resiliency, at the best cost.
  • Build disruptive new applications natively in Azure that are secure, intelligent, and reliable.
  • Maximize developer velocity with DevSecOps tooling and practices.
  • Integrate at scale historically disparate systems via integration and API services.
