Case Study: Platform.sh achieves faster go-to-market growth with Microsoft Azure

Partnering with Microsoft helps startup promote open-source solutions and fuel explosive growth

Platform.sh, a venture capital-backed PaaS startup specializing in open-source web application development, faced the challenge of gaining market access and enterprise credibility to fuel its growth. They sought a cloud provider partnership that offered more than just infrastructure, looking for strategic business support to reach a diverse client base. Microsoft provided this through its Azure Cloud Services and a deeply collaborative partnership.

The solution implemented by Microsoft extended beyond its Azure APIs to include direct business planning support and strategic introductions to key agencies and enterprise clients. This partnership provided Platform.sh with the market clout and access needed to win over large customers, particularly in sensitive markets like Germany. As a result, Platform.sh gained significant credibility, accelerated its business growth, and was able to help its customers deploy applications several times faster.
