Case Study: Modern Muse achieves rapid growth and scalability with Avanade on Microsoft Azure

Modern Muse achieves rapid growth with an agile web solution

Modern Muse is a platform that connects girls with female role models to inspire STEM and career aspirations. Built originally on open‑source tech and hosted on AWS, the site struggled to scale, deploy rapidly, and deliver a mobile‑friendly, accessible experience as user demand grew.

Avanade and Microsoft migrated Modern Muse to Azure and applied modern engineering practices (continuous integration, automated testing, accessibility and streamlined deployments), integrating with third‑party tools where needed. The move simplified server management, lowered costs, improved performance and responsiveness, and drove nearly a 600% traffic increase within days plus more than 1,000 registered Muses, expanding outreach and engagement.
