“We really appreciate the close partnership that Microsoft gave Bitnami to amplify the availability of our Launchpad offering. It helped us get off to a great start!" – Erica Brescia, Bitnami
With open-source roots running deep at Bitnami, unveiling its Launchpad for Microsoft Azure solution at the O'Reilly Open Source Convention (OSCON) made perfect sense. Microsoft was right there as a partner to support Bitnami, not only with its cloud platform, but also with the expertise of its Cloud OS App Launch Services team.
Microsoft worked with Bitnami on materials to make its OSCON launch booth a success, including a foundational messaging framework, customer datasheet, and customer-facing FAQ. Bitnami also collaborated with Microsoft on an Azure web page, launch blog post, and press release. And published an App of the Day tweet to about 175,000 followers on Twitter.
By combining a great cloud product with marketing and promotion help, Bitnami’s launch was a success. Soon afterward, Bitnami had generated 500 percent of its goal for images of Microsoft Azure, and exceeded by 60 percent its goal for downloads.
