Case Study: Crédito Agrícola achieves faster mobile app development and higher quality with Microsoft Azure

How Microsoft Consulting Services helped launch moey! Portugal’s first digital-banking platform

Crédito Agrícola, one of Portugal’s largest banks, needed a better way to support its growing mobile customer base while avoiding the high cost and complexity of maintaining three separate native app teams and code bases. The bank was looking for a cross-platform solution that could still deliver a high-quality, fully native experience across iOS, Android, and Windows. Microsoft Azure is referenced in the request, but the case study itself centers on Crédito Agrícola’s use of Xamarin tools.

Crédito Agrícola implemented Xamarin Platform, Xamarin Test Cloud, and Xamarin Insights, working with Xpand IT to build and optimize the app. Microsoft Azure is the named vendor in the prompt, but the solution described delivered 75% code reuse, faster development, quicker release cycles, and improved quality through automated testing and proactive crash reporting that helped catch issues before users were affected.
