Case Study: Nature’s Sunshine achieves 90% CDN cost savings with Microsoft Corporation Azure

Nutritional supplement company fortifies systems at 90 percent savings with Microsoft Azure

Nature’s Sunshine, a global direct seller of nutritional and personal care products, was facing slow website response times, high maintenance costs, and a troubled ERP and order system that hurt customer experience and sales. The company needed a faster, more scalable way to modernize its infrastructure, improve identity management, and streamline deployments, and it turned to Microsoft Corporation and Microsoft Azure services including Azure Active Directory, Azure App Service, and Azure Content Delivery Network.

Microsoft Corporation helped Nature’s Sunshine migrate key workloads to Azure, using services such as Azure Cosmos DB, Azure Kubernetes Service, Azure DevOps, and Azure Monitor to standardize deployments and optimize performance. The results included a 90 percent reduction in CDN licensing costs, website response times dropping from 15 seconds to 3 seconds, and nearly 1,000 fewer payment-service exceptions, with new sites delivered in days instead of months.
