TORONTO, April 2, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Cnovate Solutions Inc., an Azure-exclusive consulting firm focused on digital startups, officially launches today. Its mission is to help digital-native companies and ISVs seamlessly migrate to Azure, innovate faster, and scale efficiently. Specializing in cloud migration, AI-driven automation, and Microsoft ecosystem acceleration, Cnovate empowers startups to reduce complexity, increase agility, and unlock Microsoft's enterprise sales and Go-To-Market (GTM) programs.
"Startups are at the forefront of cloud innovation, and Microsoft is committed to giving them the tools and support they need to scale," said Kuldip Obhan, Microsoft Startups and ISVs Sales Leader for Americas. "Cnovate's deep Azure expertise and focus on cloud migration and marketplace acceleration make them a valuable partner in our ecosystem.
