Modernise enterprise applications with Azure to unlock business value
In today's dynamic business landscape, staying ahead of the curve requires agility and innovation. But legacy on-premises infrastructure can be a significant roadblock, hindering application development speed and efficiency. This is where Azure Platform as a Service (PaaS) comes in.
This guide explores how Azure PaaS can speed up – through efficiencies in skills, tools, and time - your application development process, helping you achieve:
- Reduced Costs: Streamline IT expenses and eliminate the burden of managing on-premises infrastructure.
- Faster Development: Benefit from pre-built services and a managed platform to accelerate development cycles.
- Enhanced Security: Leverage Microsoft's industry-leading cloud security practices for peace of mind.
- Improved Uptime: Ensure high availability with a guaranteed 99.95% SLA uptime.
- Increased Developer Productivity: Empower your development team to focus on innovation with modern tools and a frictionless environment.
Understanding the challenges of legacy infrastructure
Many organisations – perhaps even yours - continue to rely on on-premises infrastructure for application development.
While this approach may have served you well in the past, it presents several challenges today:
- High Maintenance Costs: Managing and maintaining on-premises servers can be expensive and time-consuming, diverting resources away from core business initiatives.
- Limited Scalability: Scaling on-premises infrastructure to meet fluctuating demands can be complex and costly.
- Security Vulnerabilities: Keeping pace with evolving security threats requires constant vigilance and investment in security solutions.
- Slow Development Cycles: On-premises infrastructure often leads to lengthy provisioning times and delays in application deployment.
- Limited Talent Pool: Attracting and retaining skilled IT professionals to manage on-premises infrastructure can be challenging.
