Case Study: Sekoia achieves 70% lower cloud costs and faster innovation with Microsoft Azure

Software company moves to the cloud to improve elder care

Sekoia, a UK software company serving elder-care facilities, needed a scalable way to reduce paperwork and support caregivers while keeping customer data secure. After starting its SaaS offering in Microsoft Azure, it faced scaling challenges with per-customer virtual machines and wanted a more efficient cloud architecture.

Microsoft Corporation helped Sekoia move its applications to Azure Service Fabric and a microservices model, supported by Azure SQL Database, Azure Redis Cache, and other Azure services. The result was a 70% reduction in cloud costs, a drop in server count from 100 to 5, and faster innovation as the team spent less time on infrastructure and more time building new features.
