How Microsoft’s Application (PaaS) team partnered with Gigaom to win more deals
Requirement
1) Microsoft sought to document the cost and benefits of migrating an ASP.NET application from on-premises to the cloud, addressing the impact across development, infrastructure, and operations teams.
2) Microsoft explored the impact that a cloud app migration can have on operations, including the ability to access higher-level services such a DevOps, BC/DR, and machine learning (chatbots).
3) The target audience for the report included business decision makers (CIOs) and technical practitioners (architects, engineers) focusing on TCO.
Response
Gigaom deployed an application in multiple environments to model the migration of a real-world application to the cloud, testing the impact on TCO, performance, ease of use, scalability, flexibility, and deployment. Microsoft benchmarked deployments on AWS and VMware, alongside Azure, to showcase its competitive advantage.
Deliverable
With GigaOm’s help in understanding the challenges of cloud migration, Microsoft was able to identify impacts across teams, such as managing unexpected costs, performance, flexibility and customization considerations.

GigaOm’s Radar is distinctive – it’s looking at the product attributes rather than the market share of a company. Market share is a ‘rear view’ metric – and isn’t very useful given the pace of technological change.” Minio
