1. Power of Azure Helps to Reimagine Corporate Communication and Organizational Connection
“Choosing to build Sparrow with Microsoft Azure was a straightforward decision. Nothing compares to the breadth, depth, and quality of services which we rely on to build and maintain our products.” – David Cronin, CTO, DevFacto Technologies
SITUATION
To develop its solution for improving the way organizations communicate with targeted information for employees and engagement analytics for managers, DevFacto Technologies required a suite of interoperable services that could be managed in one place. It required infrastructure that would support many mobile devices, web services, high-performing analytics, storage, and push notifications. It also had to be easy to set up and very scalable.

SOLUTION
For DevFacto, the decision to use Microsoft Azure was straightforward. Its solution, Sparrow, takes advantage of Azure features including Active Directory, Table Storage, Document DB, Service Bus, Event Hub, Notification Hub, Web Apps, and Cloud Services. Many of the services used in Sparrow are deployed with scripts, allowing DevFacto to create and manage multiple environments at once. Scale and performance are increased easily through configuration, and the services Microsoft frameworks provide make Sparrow highly interoperable.
BENEFITS
With Azure, it’s simple to create a production-grade mobile app infrastructure that can be scaled down to save money or scaled up to handle increased traffic.
Building a multi-tenant environment requires confidence in the performance, security, and reliability of a system; Azure makes it easy.
