Microsoft Azure Promises to Become Even More Useful with New Partner Offerings Announced

There was no shortage of good news announced at this year’s Microsoft Inspire—an annual conference at which Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and company publicize plans for the coming months. And some of the most exciting information shared at Inspire 2018 surrounded the new partner offerings for Azure, Microsoft’s Cloud computing service.

As a Microsoft Gold Partner, eMazzanti is proud to help our customers get the most out of Microsoft services. Here are just a few of the updates announced at Inspire 2018 that will help us offer you even more.

Private offers will expand

We care about our customers. It’s why we encourage them to strengthen disaster recovery plans, leverage cutting-edge Internet of Things (IoT) services, and adapt to meet shifting standards for web and mobile applications using Microsoft Azure. And with Microsoft’s latest partner announcements, we can now offer customers even more.

Microsoft partners are now able to expand private offerings in the Azure marketplace. Select customers are now eligible for discounts, deals on long-term and bulk pricing, and special contract terms. This will allow partners like us to deliver an even better buying experience.

New apps and technologies

Did you know that 234,731 companies use Azure—including 80% of the Fortune 500? If your company hasn’t discovered the benefits of Azure just yet, there has never been a better time to find out, as Microsoft has unveiled a number of new apps and technologies that will be available through the channel.

These new tools are designed to help users perform data migration, create, enforce, and log application and network security policies, and optimize branch-to-branch connectivity—three actions that contribute to longevity in today’s corporate climate.

IoT updates

IoT technology is here to stay. Inter-device communication empowers businesses to glean actionable insights and function with unparalleled efficiency. Azure makes it easier than ever.

At Inspire 2018, Microsoft revealed updates to its software as a service (SaaS) IoT solution, Azure IoT Central, that promise to help users visualize data in real time. Better yet, partners will be able to include provisioning and management of Azure IoT Central applications in subscription offerings.

Trusted by the world’s top companies, Microsoft Azure is an accessible, cost-effective, and sustainable way to develop, deploy, and manage the websites and mobile applications that support modern business.
