Microsoft Azure is an ever-expanding set of cloud services to help your organisation meet your business challenges. It’s the freedom to build, manage and deploy applications on a massive, global network using your favourite tools and frameworks.

Yes but in real terms, what does that mean for me and my business? Well, it means that, for example, if you know you need more server capacity to support your business, you can achieve this with Azure in a few clicks of a mouse. Yes, a few clicks! With Azure, your virtual server capacity is unlimited and you'll ony pay for what you use.

Azure isn't just about virtual servers. There are over 100 services you can call on. Just one example is Flow. Microsoft Flow is cloud-based software that allows employees to create and automate workflows and tasks across multiple applications and services without help from developers. Automated workflows are called flows.

We at Geodetic.UK have been working with Azure for several years and we are so excited with the possibilities that Azure offers our clients. We use Azure to run our business too. We are also, of course, resellers of Azure services and to learn more simply call us on 01492 572893 for a free no obligation chat.
