Microsoft Azure Consulting Services: 8-Week Implementation

5 Reasons to Run your Business in Microsoft Azure YOUR BUSINESS. YOUR CLOUD. YOUR TERMS. The modern business runs in the cloud. And the successful modern business runs in Microsoft Azure. It’s the perfect balance of security, flexibility, and affordability. Here’s why.

1. No more capital expenditures: Why pay for expensive hardware when you don’t have to? As a subscription service, Azure frees you from upfront capital expenses and the time it takes to manage services locally. And that means you can focus on what’s important: running your business
2. Business continuity, no matter what: We all know that a data disaster is a business disaster. Even a minor outage can put you at a competitive disadvantage. With Azure, ensure your apps work when you need them the most—without the expense of secondary infrastructure. Don’t be the company without a plan.
3. Paying only for what you use: Sometimes you need more capacity, sometimes you need less. Azure can easily stretch to meet seasonal needs according to business growth and demands.
4. A tiered approach to the cloud: Moving to the cloud shouldn’t be an all-or-nothing decision. And it certainly shouldn’t be a hassle. With Azure, you can move any or all your business applications on your timeline and when you’re ready. From accounting and HR to commerce and CRM, there's a place for everything in Azure.
5. Security, security, and more security: Safeguard your business with unmatched security management and threat protection for all applications and data, whether they’re on-premises or in the cloud. Plus, Azure has more security and certifications than any other cloud provider.
