2015 is positioned to be an exciting year for developers<\/strong><\/em>. \u00a0Considering the momentum around announcements at Connect<\/a>\u00a0and with Build 2015<\/a> right around the corner, now is a good time to be thinking about modernization and cloud strategy.\u00a0 If you haven\u2019t significantly revised the way you build apps and run development projects in the last few years, you are missing opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Image<\/a><\/td>\nCloud, Mobile, Social, Big Data, and Agile have changed the game\n<\/strong>The cloud has created a better way to build scalable applications, reach more customers, and operate at lower costs than ever before.\u00a0 While many have embraced Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) to start their journey, Platform as a Service (PaaS) often\u00a0means a\u00a0more efficient solution and better ROI.\u00a0 Mobile\u00a0is accessibility, anywhere, on any device, to reach customers and enable a distributed workforce.\u00a0 Social is taking communication to the next level with customers and employees.\u00a0 What are they thinking?\u00a0 What do they want?\u00a0 How can we get better?\u00a0 Data is everywhere, but how do you make it work for you?\u00a0 Agile is adapting to change faster to be more productive.\u00a0 If you are not doing it, your competition is.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Decisions and Partnerships\n<\/strong>Developers know there are many platform choices available today, but not every company brings the same level of commitment and investment with new opportunity.\u00a0 Microsoft is \u201call-in\u201d in terms of cloud strategy and Azure experienced a monumental year in 2014.\u00a0 Recognized as an industry leader in both PaaS and IaaS<\/a>, there are trusted services available today to help anyone realize cloud transformation in their business.\u00a0 Azure not only supports the best of Microsoft platforms and technologies, but also provides support for Linux, Oracle, MySQL, Hybrid solutions, and more.\u00a0 Azure is the perfect cloud platform to integrate with just about any kind of mobile client, whatever the underlying platform may be.<\/p>\n

With best in breed developer tools\u00a0such as\u00a0Visual Studio, .NET Framework, Team Foundation Server, and Visual Studio Online it\u2019s never been easier to build applications using the technology that is right for you.\u00a0 Open source solutions are now on the roadmap for .NET<\/a>, enabling skills and code reuse across Windows, Mac, and Linux.<\/p>\n

Microsoft Services<\/strong>\nWhat makes partnering with Microsoft truly different?\u00a0 Technology is just a piece of it.\u00a0 Microsoft Services has been supporting our customers through Premier Support relationships for nearly three decades.\u00a0 Nobody else supports the entire stack, end to end, with a worldwide organization and predicable support lifecycle<\/a>\u00a0for every Microsoft technology.\u00a0 Whether you are compiling code on a development workstation, troubleshooting production workloads in the cloud, tuning SQL server in a test environment, or keeping the lights on with legacy applications, Microsoft offers world class support options to keep your business on track and positioned for future opportunity.<\/p>\n

2015 is going to be a great year!\u00a0 If you do not have an Application Development Manager to work with your teams on modernization and cloud strategy, contact us<\/a> to learn more about what Premier Support for Developers can do for you.<\/em><\/p>\n
