1. Microsoft Azure Cloud Empowers Software Trial and Training Application to Offer Service to ISVs
“Our Trial.iO application gives customers and prospects the ability to provision their software directly from the web with a single click – no waiting for downloads and without involving IT. We love the stability and performance of Azure.” – Nitin Agarwal, CEO, Motifworks
SITUATION
Software companies are rapidly shifting to a cloud/SaaS delivery model because it allows them to quickly deliver innovations and new capabilities to customers. Consumers have become more accustomed to the ease, speed and dependability of software that is delivered in the cloud. Motifworks was looking for a cloud platform for its product that helps companies operate in the cloud without the disruption and expense of a full migration.

MICROSOFT AZURE ISV PROFILE:
Motifworks launched Trial.iO in late 2015 as a platform to provision software trials, training or live environments directly from the web with a single click. Whether customers need to deliver free trials of software, create proof-of-concept/demo environments, or train new customers on their software, Trial.iO allows them to initiate and scale to thousands of servers regardless of Windows or Linux or configuration.
SOLUTION
Motifworks created Trial.iO, a platform for independent software vendors that have not migrated to the cloud. Trial.iO leverages native Microsoft Azure features, such as App Service, Virtual Machines, open source on Azure including Linux and MongoDB, Service Bus and Automation, to help save companies money by eliminating their dependence on IT resources, increase speed-to-market and ensure a consistent experience regardless of platform. With Trial.iO, ISVs can immediately deliver software trials and conduct training sessions over the cloud without involving IT resources.
BENEFITS
Trial.iO customers can effortlessly deploy software on the Microsoft Azure cloud so anyone, regardless of operating system, can try its products.
Azure enables quick scalability using the Trial.iO portal, which allows for easy control of the length and availability of trial and training environments.
