1. Microsoft Azure Helps Decrease the Cost and
Simplify Management of Extranet in the Cloud
MINI-CASE STUDY
“Extranet User Manager SaaS powered by Microsoft Azure simplifies how to collaborate securely. It allows both internal and external parties to do their job more efficiently.” – Denesh Sohan, Director of Operations, Extranet User Manager
SITUATION
Before the Extranet User Manager was available as a SaaS offering, its trials required installation within its potential clients’ infrastructure. The resources needed to get a potential client up and running often affected the trial timelines. From an availability and scalability standpoint, it made sense to have Extranet User Manager hosted in the cloud.

SOLUTION
EUM made itself available as a SaaS offering on Microsoft Azure, the only major cloud platform ranked by Gartner as an industry leader for both Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS). Azure’s powerful combination of managed and unmanaged services lets EUM clients build, deploy, and manage applications any way they like for unmatched productivity. SaaS allows users to increase collaboration with external partners while reducing costs in managing an extranet in the Azure cloud.
BENEFITS
Extranet User Manager hosted in Azure with clients’ SharePoint applications can be integrated with a simple PowerShell script.
Deploying EUM from Azure drastically reduces implementation timelines for clients.
