Case Study: Objective Corporation achieves global secure collaboration with Microsoft Azure

Game-changing secure-collaboration service goes global with a single, open source-friendly cloud

Objective Corporation, an IT services company, needed a global cloud provider to support the rapid expansion of its secure file-sharing service, Objective Connect. Their key challenges included meeting strict data sovereignty laws for government clients and finding a partner that would fully support their open-source technology stack, which included CentOS and MySQL. They chose Microsoft Azure as their vendor to address these needs.

Microsoft provided a solution by demonstrating Azure's robust support for Objective's open-source technologies and its global network of data centers that ensure data sovereignty. As a result, Objective migrated and consolidated its services in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK onto the Azure platform. This partnership provided a single, global technology foundation, simplifying engineering efforts and giving customers confidence in the service's security and performance. Microsoft's ongoing support allows Objective to focus on product development and future integrations, like Office 365.
