Let’s be honest…

Implementing technology-related changes to your practice often creates stress — especially when those changes affect the maintenance and management of your valuable data.

When Microsoft ends support for SQL Server 2008 R2, it’s important to move to an option that alleviates that stress in your practice – both the tension of transition and ongoing headache of upkeep – while empowering you to improve your practice. By switching to the cloud, you’ll relieve a burden by allowing Microsoft Azure to take the reins.

Here are 3 ways making the switch to the cloud can simplify your technology strategy while freeing up time to foster innovation:

1 – Eliminate the stress of IT management
Ease your concerns and allow Azure cloud to manage your server and data infrastructure for you. With 95 percent of Fortune 500 businesses running on Microsoft cloud, Azure proves to be the most trusted service provider to safely maintain your practice’s database. You can hit the cloud running by leveraging Microsoft’s expertise and tools to launch your transition plan. All while skipping many of the inconveniences of dealing with infrastructure set-up and maintenance.

2 – Turn your ideas into solutions, faster
While Microsoft maintains your database and server infrastructure, you’ll spend less energy on IT worries. Better yet, you’ll have more time to enhance your practice in the future in mind. Take your practice’s technology landscape to new heights with the comprehensive menu of Azure services at your fingertips. You’ve gotta love opportunity cost!

3 – Choose the simplest plan for your practice
Azure offers multiple options to help you tailor the best plan-of-action for your practice. With three core migration scenarios, you can to decide which strategy is the most appropriate for you and your team. With Azure, it’s an easy lift and shift from SQL Server 2008 R2 to the cloud. However, if you feel your practice is not yet ready to migrate completely to the cloud, Azure offers options more suitable for your pace.
