Case Study: CYTI achieves greater scalability and cost savings with Microsoft Corporation Azure and FastTrack for Azure

CYTI uses FastTrack for Azure to deploy solutions that keep its insurance services online when others fail

CYTI, a UK insurance platform designer, struggled with an inflexible IT setup that couldn’t handle sudden traffic spikes and often put its online services at risk of downtime. The company turned to Microsoft Corporation’s FastTrack for Azure, using Azure App Service, Azure SQL Database, and Azure Front Door Service to move its insurance websites to a more scalable cloud environment.

Microsoft Corporation helped CYTI design and deploy a faster, more flexible Azure architecture that improved availability, security, and disaster recovery. The results were significant: CYTI maintained service during traffic surges, saved about £127,500 in SQL Server licensing, and cut infrastructure costs by around 30% per year, while continuing to return quotes when competitors could not.
