Cloud hosting of software is fast becoming the new normal as organisations appreciate the boost in corporate efficiency, productivity and the capex reduction opportunities it provides.
Take up is growing following the significant investment cloud providers have made in security, which closes the gap between what an enterprise can achieve in their on-premise IT infrastructure and what they get from a cloud provider.
Globally, we are seeing our customers making the move to Predict! Cloud, our managed hosting service. It is recognised as a secure and reliable approach, with more flexibility than their on-premise solution. They also appreciate the trust they can place in our award-winning support team to manage the hosted platform for them.
We chose to partner with MS Azure because of their long-standing reputation as a safe, trusted and robust provider of ISO 27001 compliant hosted environments across industry sectors.
MS Azure delighted us with their responsiveness when we were exploring hosted platform options. As we pride ourselves on being responsive to our customers, this was an important consideration for our hosting partner.
The MS Azure platform satisfies the rigorous security and privacy demands of organisations handling incredibly sensitive data: US government institutions, and 90% of Fortune 500 companies.
MS Azure offers the most comprehensive set of compliance offerings of any cloud service provider, including ITAR, DoD, IRAP. Find out more about the full list of Microsoft Azure compliance.
