New Solution Delivers a Connected Ecosystem in
Microsoft Azure for Faster, Safer, More Manageable Migrations While
Ensuring Business Continuity
Software AG (Frankfurt, MDAX: SOW) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT)
today announced a powerful new solution with Microsoft that enables
enterprises to accelerate and simplify migration to Microsoft Azure
while ensuring business continuity. Software AG’s new Cloud
Migration Accelerator – based on the company’s webMethods.io
Integration platform – allows enterprises to connect to
applications, cloud services and data faster and more easily than
ever before, providing a seamless path to a truly connected
ecosystem.
Cloud migrations are often a complex journey, challenging IT
teams to move or replace on-premise technology to the cloud while
ensuring that ongoing business operations run smoothly. Moving
existing applications to the cloud involves a continuous need to
connect or re-connect applications from on-premise to new cloud
services, or new cloud services to other new cloud services. Making
this hybrid transition as smooth as possible while maintaining
business operations and access to data is critical for
enterprises.
“We recently embarked on a cloud migration journey which put 70
percent of our current IT footprint on Microsoft Azure while 30
percent of our IT remains on-premise,” said Anthony Roberts, CIO,
Walgreens Boots Alliance. “We use Software AG’s webMethods to
remain connected to existing integrated solutions and business
processes while some IT components moved to the cloud and others
remained on-premise. webMethods safeguards our most important IT
assets during the complex migration process.”
Enterprises eager to migrate to Microsoft Azure benefit from
technology that serves as the critical connective tissue that
allows easy and fast access to applications, cloud services and
data during the migration process, according to Software AG CEO
Sanjay Brahmawar.
“Our solution with Microsoft enables enterprises to have a truly
connected ecosystem,” said Brahmawar. “Customers will not only
accelerate migration but can also spark innovation and turn data
into real value as they safeguard their most important IT
assets.”
Judson Althoff, Executive Vice President, Worldwide Commercial
Business at Microsoft Corporation added, “Most large cloud
migrations face the challenge of ensuring business continuity while
the IT landscape changes at the same time. Software AG’s webMethods
gives enterprises the opportunity to create a smooth migration path
to the cloud and immediately capitalize on the benefits of
Microsoft Azure.”
The Cloud Migration Accelerator based on webMethods.io is
immediately available on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace as a SaaS
offering.
