By moving to Azure, you’ll be able to innovate in new ways by adopting a cloud operations-based model on infrastructure as a service (IaaS) technology. Additionally, you’ll be able to take advantage of further opportunities for innovation by modernizing with fully managed platform as a service (PaaS) offering. But, before you begin down a cloud adoption path, it’s important to first establish a strong technical foundation to support your long-term cloud strategy. With that foundation in place, you can then build more advanced solutions onto that foundation and digitally transform your business.
