Microsoft Azure - Case Studies in Cloud Modernization - How five businesses used the cloud to adapt and innovate
The cloud is the future of business I Introduction
A new era of cloud adoption
Today, more than ever, organizations need to be agile and resilient to survive and even thrive in the face of unexpected challenges. The “new normal” for business is the result of many factors: hybrid work, a growing number of devices connecting to the enterprise infrastructure, the speed of innovation required by market changes, and the need to scale to meet surge demand. In response, Microsoft solutions have helped businesses of all sizes to help them take advantage of the scalability, remote work enablement, and cost efficiencies of migrating to the cloud. Companies will continue to leverage cloud investments in order to refine and reimagine their digital strategies— always with an eye toward remote productivity, sustainability, and security.
“The pandemic validated
the cloud’s value proposition.
The ability to use on-demand,
scalable cloud models to achieve
cost efficiency and business
continuity is providing the
impetus for organizations to
rapidly accelerate their digital
business transformation plans.
”
In fact, 40 percent of all enterprise workloads will be deployed in cloud infrastructure and platform services (CIPS) by 2023, up from only 20 percent in 2020.1 So today—as confidence, comfort, and trust in the cloud continue to increase across all business sectors—organizations have moved from the question of “Why migrate?” to “How fast can we migrate?”
