Case Study: RAHAT Market achieves a secure, cost-effective foundation for growth with Microsoft Azure

Azerbaijan retail brand building a more secure foundation for growth

Baku-headquartered ANC Group’s RAHAT Market—operating 20 larger stores and numerous discount outlets across Azerbaijan—faced unreliable on‑premise backups, an aging server estate and a single on‑site computer room that was a critical single point of failure with no budget for a second disaster‑recovery site. IT Manager Turab Huseynov needed a more resilient, cost‑effective foundation to protect data and support growth.

Working with local partner SIP, RAHAT Market moved its discount stores to Microsoft Azure, immediately gaining better visibility, reliability and performance. The cloud rollout cut hardware investment and maintenance, lowered costs to as little as $1 a day per store, delivered significantly improved uptime, and freed IT to focus on analytics and customer value—next steps include enrolling larger stores and using Power BI for business insights.
