Case Study: Dentsu Aegis Network achieves greater business agility with Microsoft Corporation’s Azure cloud migration

Dentsu Aegis Network gains new business agility with a rapid cloud migration

Dentsu Aegis Network, a global media and digital marketing company, was struggling with rising costs, limited scalability, and governance issues across four datacenters on three continents. To address these challenges, the company turned to Microsoft Corporation and Microsoft Azure, using the Cloud Adoption Framework for Azure to support a large-scale infrastructure migration.

Microsoft Corporation helped Dentsu Aegis Network migrate its entire environment to Azure, including Azure Kubernetes Service and Azure SQL Data Warehouse, while setting up automated self-service cloud landing zones. The result was faster provisioning, better governance, improved uptime, and significant cost savings, including retiring about 20% of existing apps and completing the first datacenter shutdown within a year of the migration kickoff.
