Microsoft Azure is an open and flexible hyperscale cloud platform that enables organizations to quickly build, deploy, and manage applications at scale – but that platform can be challenging. Azure’s numerous offerings are continually growing and changing, contributing to its complexity. How can your IT team keep up?

Top 3 concerns when moving to Azure
1. Lack of Resources and Expertise
It’s not easy being an expert in everything you need to run your business. Your IT team needs to focus on your core business and strategic initiatives that add value to your company. Our core business is managing cloud environments. It’s what we do. We keep up with the latest Azure services and updates, so you don’t have to. Our teams get continual training to stay up-to-date and on top of their game for you.
2. Security
For most organizations, a public cloud is going to be more secure than their privately owned data center because reputable cloud providers have greater resources to make security a priority. Microsoft dedicates top-notch security teams to ensure their facilities are protected 24×7 and addresses evolving threats promptly with the latest security patches. TierPoint can also help determine if additional security tools and protocols are needed to meet your requirements, including compliance with industry standards and government regulations.
3. Flexibility
In today’s world, everything is moving quickly. IT constraints and delays just don’t cut it. Whether you need to manage expansion through acquisitions, new products, or territories, Microsoft Azure provides flexible capacity to expand with your needs. Azure’s pay-as-you-go model lets you spin up resources on demand and allows you to stop using them just as quickly, so you don’t need to keep paying for infrastructure you aren’t using.
