VOICE OF THE CUSTOMER

We don’t have largeIT, IT ops and dev opsteams; [with Azure PaaS]we’re going to doeverything as efficientlyas possible. -Chief architect,BI solution provider

Developing our app without [Azure] PaaS? Well, we wouldn’t have done it. Frankly, the extra time and resources required would have wiped out any profit that we have generated.
