Cloud Migration and Optimization for ISVs: 4 Hours Workshop (Duration can be extended; Full implementation supported)

In order to scale, keeping their competitive edge while serving more and more digitally educated customers worldwide, Independent software vendors (ISVs) are often faced with the need to migrate their software products as software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions to the cloud. This may seem a complicated, expensive and overwhelming process. When you choose the right partner it’s never the case. Avaelgo’s team has have been successfully working with complex Azure cloud migration projects for more a decade. Here is our experience with such migrations.

On-premises software challenges:

1. Scalability => Limits Innovation:

• Monolithic Architecture -> Loosing to (new) competitors
• Obsolete Design -> Difficult to get new customers

2. Slow Time-to-Market: => Limits Agility:

• High Lead Time for Changes -> Low customer satisfaction
• Low Deployment Frequency -> Limited opportunity to respond quickly

3. Reliability & Uptime: => Impacts Performance:

• High Change Failure Rate -> Increased costs of support
• Limited monitoring capability -> Increasing security risk

4. Availability & Recovery: => Impacts Profitability:

• High complexity for redundancy -> High cost to ensure redundancy
• Long Mean Time to Recover -> Increased operational costs

How do ISVs start using Microsoft Azure? Frequent use case: ISV migrated from another cloud vendor to Microsoft Azure.

• Through Microsoft for Startups / Azure Credits
• Azure Marketplace, Microsoft Go-To-Market

Migration to Azure Benefits:

1. Innovation & Agility: => More Customers:

• Newest Technology -> Competitive advantage
• No legacy infrastructure -> Meeting Customer Needs

2. Cost Reduction: => Higher Margin:

• Fast Time-To-Market -> Lower cost for update
• High Development Frequency -> Higher Developer Efficiency

3. Security and Resilience: => Greater Performance:

• Enterprise security grade -> Scaling for peak performance
• Build-In redundancy -> Industry-leading security

4. Hybrid Capabilities: => Tailoring for Needs:

• Integrate on premise workloads -> Some workloads or data on-premises
• Unified control & monitoring -> Benefit from unified control
