The Microsoft Solutions Partner for Digital & App Innovation (Azure) designation is an elite recognition awarded to Microsoft partners who demonstrate exceptional broad capabilities in Azure application innovation. It is part of Microsoft’s AI Cloud Partner Program (replacing the old Gold/Silver competencies) and signals that a partner has met stringent benchmarks in performance, skilling, and customer success. In Microsoft’s words, a Solutions Partner in this area has proven ability to “help customers build, run, and manage applications across multiple clouds, on premises, and at the edge”, using the tools and frameworks of their choice. This designation gives clients an easy way to identify a partner with a deep commitment to training and certifications and a history of delivering solutions that lead to customer success.
Microsoft Solutions Partner – Digital & App Innovation (Azure)
Built on 20+ Years of Microsoft Expertise
Create IT’s recognition as a Solutions Partner didn’t happen overnight – it’s the culmination of over two decades of working hand-in-hand with Microsoft technologies. Since our founding in 2001, we have cultivated a close relationship with Microsoft, achieving the highest levels of the former Microsoft Partner Network. In fact, as a multi-competency Gold Partner, Create IT was among the top 1% of Microsoft partners worldwide. Our team has continuously invested in Microsoft training and certifications, earning specialized expertise in areas like application development, cloud platforms, and integration. We’ve also been honored with industry awards (including European SharePoint Community Awards) that highlight our innovative use of Microsoft solutions. This long history of excellence laid the foundation for our current status as a Microsoft Solutions Partner – Digital & App Innovation. It reaffirms that our skills are up-to-date and that we’ve consistently delivered successful outcomes on Azure for years.

Success Stories Across Industries
Create IT has powered the digital transformation of leading retailers. We helped Sonae, one of Portugal’s largest retail groups, modernize their e-commerce and integration platforms using Azure cloud services. The result was a more resilient system capable of handling high-volume online sales and a faster, more seamless customer experience. In another case, we implemented a centralized notification system on Azure for a major retail chain, enabling personalized back-in-stock alerts that boosted customer engagement and sales.
In the financial sector, we’ve delivered secure, mission-critical cloud-native solutions. For example, we worked with BPI – a top Portuguese bank – to revamp their online banking platform for corporate clients, migrating it to a modern, scalable architecture and improving performance and security compliance. We also partnered with Victoria Seguros, an insurance company to deploy an Azure-based intranet portal (using our Diggspace solution) that enhanced internal collaboration while meeting stringent data protection requirements.
Create IT has left its mark on the tourism and hospitality industry through Azure-powered innovation. A highlight is our development of the Visit Cascais portal – a dynamic tourism website hosted on Azure that personalizes content for visitors and can scale effortlessly during peak travel seasons (Create IT develops new portal Visit Cascais). Additionally, for travel companies like Tour Tailors, we built custom Azure-based applications that streamline trip planning and booking processes, resulting in more efficient operations and richer customer experiences.
