As a Custom Software Developer, why would I want to consider the Windows Azure platform?
Custom Software Developers (CSD) can build solutions for customers that use the Windows Azure platform to simplify the infrastructure requirements for their projects. The business opportunities for CSD’s are: • Increase your agility by quickly building, hosting and managing solutions built on the Windows Azure platform; • Expand the reach of your software solutions to customers unable or unwilling to incur the cost of in-house deployment or investment in hardware; • Deliver your applications in a software-as-a-service model without having to maintain your own data centers; • Extend value to your customers by augmenting current applications with services based on the Windows Azure platform.
