Case Study: Tawasol delivers a scalable social media app with Microsoft Azure

Tawasol - Customer Case Study

Tawasol, an Egypt-based digital strategy and software firm, faced significant roadblocks while developing a social media fan app for a global soccer brand using Amazon Web Services. The challenges included an inflexible infrastructure, high costs, and support limitations that hindered development and threatened their project timeline. This led them to seek a new solution with vendor Microsoft Corporation and its Microsoft Azure platform.

The solution involved migrating the app's development to open source software on the Microsoft Azure infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) platform. This move, supported by the Microsoft BizSpark program, provided Tawasol with a more intuitive, flexible, and stable environment. The results were substantial: a 20 percent reduction in costs, the ability to support over 500,000 active users, and a development process that became significantly faster and more efficient.
