Case Study: Trustpower achieves faster service delivery with Microsoft Azure

Agile cloud helps NZ energy co. power into broadband retail

Trustpower, a New Zealand-based energy and broadband retailer, needed to accelerate its expansion into new retail services by dramatically improving its speed to market. Their challenge was to move away from a slow, monolithic technology approach to one that would allow them to create and deploy new online products in days instead of months. To meet this goal, they partnered with Microsoft and adopted a cloud-first strategy built on the Microsoft Azure platform.

The solution from Microsoft involved migrating 90 applications to Azure and utilizing services like Azure Logic Apps and Azure Service Bus to decouple systems and enable seamless integration. This provided Trustpower with an agile, scalable, and secure development environment. The results were significant, including the ability to deploy new services in weeks rather than months, the elimination of website downtime for updates, and the empowerment of activity-based working. Microsoft Azure provided the creative liberation and efficiency the company needed to power its ambitious growth.
