Case Study: Higher Ed Profiles achieves simpler analytics management and faster feature delivery with Microsoft Corporation Azure Database for PostgreSQL

Providing complex analytics without the complexity

Higher Ed Profiles, a small U.S. startup, needed an affordable, easy-to-use analytics and reporting platform for higher-education institutions that still required fast, complex reporting without heavy IT support. The company built its SaaS product, Profiles, on PostgreSQL and moved to Microsoft Azure to simplify its infrastructure and support its growing customer needs.

Microsoft Corporation helped Higher Ed Profiles migrate to Azure Database for PostgreSQL, a managed service that removed the need to manage the database, web server, and operating system. The transition took only a few hours, matched prior performance, and virtually eliminated database administration, saving development time and allowing the team to focus on new features and customer requests.
