Microsoft Cloud Solutions

We help customers envision, develop and manage their solutions hosted in either public, private, or hybrid clouds. From large organizations with legacy hardware constraints to smaller teams with bandwidth constraints, we're can help. Along the way, we've developed ways to overcome issues you might not even imagine—until you encounter them first hand.

Save money and put your people on something of higher value to the enterprise. Think about security, reducing the number of help desk calls, and rising to the challenge of supporting local authentication in a highly redundant, fault-tolerant world.

A Team of Cloud Experts

Utilizing architectural design sessions, Perficient’s team of cloud experts works closely with our customers to develop a roadmap of how their IT infrastructure should be hosted between cloud and on-premise environments. Once your unique company roadmap has been created, Perficient’s Cloud Accelerator is designed to help you quickly deploy applications, services and data to the cloud with minimal investment and maximum value.

When approaching any cloud solution, our practice strives to provide our customers with solutions that will:

• Lower initial capital costs and predictable recurring expenses. Cloud services virtually eliminate the need for large infrastructure investments, allowing smaller organizations to obtain IT services without major capital expenditures.
• Increase agility and scalability. The cloud provides greater agility and scalability to adapt to changing workloads and needs with high availability and quicker deployment.
• Enhance the ability to focus on other strategic initiatives. Because cloud services generally result in lower IT expenses and greater capabilities, they allow businesses to place more focus on strategic initiatives.
• Access enterprise-class software and capabilities. Cloud services provide our clients with access to enterprise-class software that may have previously been out of reach.

Applications that may have unpredictable workloads, consistent and potentially unlimited growth potential, predictable burst scenarios, or even prototyping applications for new markets are great candidates to move to the cloud. By understanding your organization’s goals, Perficient’s Microsoft Cloud Practice can help you select the best platform for your needs.

Office 365

Office 365 provides familiar Microsoft Office collaboration and productivity tools delivered through the cloud. Everyone can work together easily with anywhere access to email, web conferencing, documents and calendars. It includes business-class security and is backed by Microsoft. Whether you are a small business or multinational enterprise, Office 365 offers plans designed to fit your organization's unique needs.

Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS) is now software-as-a-service (SaaS) in the model of Office 365. Perficient has completed more projects, for a wider range of clients and industries, with a broader geographic footprint, than nearly any other Microsoft partner. We're eager to bring this expertise to you, whether you're dealing with constraints of time, bandwidth, or legacy technology. Your communication platform is mission critical, which is why outsourcing it to the cloud may be the easiest and smartest decision you can make.

Beyond the obvious, consider how the cloud can help meet compliance and usage demands without creating extra work for you. Security concerns of HIPAA, regulatory compliance, and seasonal access spikes can be demanding, but not when you put it in the hands of purpose-built external support.

Office 365 includes:

• SharePoint Online
• Exchange Online
• Office Professional Plus
• Lync Online
• Office Web Apps

Azure

Go beyond SaaS with Azure, an infrastructure or platform as a service.

Windows Azure and SQL Azure enable you to build, host and scale applications in Microsoft datacenters. They require no up-front expenses, no long- term commitment, and enable you to pay only for the resources you use.

Perficient’s deep expertise across technologies means we can move to Azure as an alternate development platform if it's most appropriate for the specific business case. We're alert to the triggers, drawing on extensive experience in a range of industries.

When one publishing giant wanted to push the boundaries of traditional commerce, Azure proved to be the right solution with minimal infrastructure and oversight. Perficient developed an electronic publishing and distribution network, distributed and delegated to the cloud. The client couldn't be happier, and neither could their users.

What are your business challenges that demand time and infrastructure in which you'd rather not invest? Move to the cloud so you can move your attention elsewhere.
