Case Study: Movvo expands globally and simplifies retail analytics with Microsoft Azure

Portuguese retail analytics pioneer uses open source on Azure to go global

Movvo, a retail analytics firm, faced a significant challenge when it needed to rapidly migrate its own infrastructure and the Google Cloud assets of a former competitor to a new platform. Due to a looming contract expiration, this complex migration, involving over 90 inaccessible virtual machines, had to be completed quickly to avoid service disruption for new and existing customers. They turned to Microsoft and its Azure platform to find a solution.

Microsoft's team developed a custom automated tool that successfully migrated over 90 percent of the code with no human intervention. Following an intense, month-long effort, the move to Microsoft Azure was completed on time. The results provided Movvo with a unified, high-performance platform that simplified management, reduced development costs, and enabled global expansion. The company also reported that the tight integration of Azure with their preferred open-source technologies was key to their future growth.
