Digital Innovator Uses Cloud Computing to Expand Product Line with Help from Experts

Symon Communications, a company that develops digital signage solutions for Fortune 1000 markets, wanted to restructure its innovative mobile application for greater scalability and flexibility. The company attended an Architecture Design Session and a Proof-of-Concept workshop at a Microsoft Technology Center (MTC). There, it learned more about the Windows Azure platform and transferred its mobile application to the cloud in a test environment. Pleased with what it saw at the MTC, Symon continued its development on Windows Azure and, as of June 2010, is fine-tuning its mobile application and conducting final testing. The company experienced an accelerated project timeline and a 50-percent reduction in development costs because of its time at the MTC, and Symon is looking forward to the dynamic scalability and cost-efficiency of Windows Azure as it brings new products to market.

“The scalability, flexibility, and lack of up-front costs available with Windows Azure free us to explore new ideas and help us offer affordable solutions to our customers faster.”
- Keith Roller, SVP of Product Development & Professional Services, Symon Communications
