Taking advantage of SaaS services allows Microsoft IT to focus on developing new
strategic applications in Azure PaaS and migrate existing applications from expiring
hardware to Azure IaaS.

SaaS
Public cloud
Microsoft IT moved quickly to take advantage
of Microsoft SaaS offerings with employees
using Office 365, Yammer, OneDrive for
Business, and Microsoft Dynamics 365.
Thousands of servers are reaching end of
life (EOL), with replacement requiring
$200 million over the next five years.
The journey to Microsoft Azure is strategic.
For Microsoft IT, this journey fundamentally
changes how we enable a hybrid cloud and
increase agility and scalability, while moving
away from the traditional datacenter model.
