“Microsoft was critical in helping Excelian promote the Grid as a Service solution to the industry, to the sales field, and to the general public.” – Gary Gonsalvez, Marketing Manager, Excelian
Excelian’s Grid as a Service (GaaS) on Microsoft Azure gives customers pay-as-you-go computing power without big infrastructure investments. But Microsoft didn’t just provide a cloud platform for Excelian, it also delivered help to create a successful launch.
For its dual launch events in New York and London, Excelian had the help of Microsoft’s Cloud OS App Launch Services team to coordinate attendees and venues. Excelian also got the opportunity to present via webcast to two dozen Microsoft field salespeople to help generate leads.
Microsoft helped to get the word out to the public by publishing a mini case study and datasheet to show off GaaS and how it leverages the power of Azure. Microsoft put its support behind Excelian’s blog announcement of the launch, and it promoted GaaS to a Twitter following of about 200,000 with an App of the Day tweet on handle.
