Case Study: Trek Bicycle reduces IT costs and boosts scalability with Microsoft Azure

Bicycle Firm Moves Retail System to Cloud, Expects to Save $15,000 a Month in IT Costs

Trek Bicycle, a major U.S. bicycle manufacturer, faced rising data-center costs and slow server provisioning times for its Ascend retail management system. The company sought to reduce IT support and development costs while also increasing the system's scalability. To address this challenge, Trek chose to migrate the application to the Microsoft Azure cloud platform.

By implementing a solution with Microsoft Azure, Trek was able to move its workloads to the cloud. This migration provided immediate benefits, including a drastic reduction in server upgrade time from weeks to just two hours. The company expects to save $15,000 per month in IT hosting costs, allowing its development team to focus more on creating valuable customer features instead of managing infrastructure.
