Cloud technology has immense power to make people’s lives more convenient; that’s where things get interesting for software developers. Our job at Cadence is to solve business problems creatively with technology. The cloud speeds up results. It enables us to deliver within days what in the past would have taken months.
That’s a massive plus for our customers – whether we build a custom revenue management system for a large aged-care provider , powerup financial analytics for a community health provider and everything in between, we’ll make it happen quickly and easily.
You call it cloud. We call it app developer’s heaven.
Our partnership with Microsoft makes it possible. Most tech tools we use to build smarter business structures for our customers live in the Microsoft Cloud, from machine learning to app programming interfaces. And most of the apps and systems that we tailor to size at Cadence – no two customers are the same – are based on building blocks of that same cloud technology.
So how does it work?
Microsoft Azure is the second-largest cloud service in the world after Amazon Web Services, but ahead of the Google Cloud Platform. It’s a gigantic piece of server infrastructure people can use on demand. It saves them the high cost and hassle of maintaining their own servers (with all the related security issues, overload risks and cable tangle).
Thousands of servers at Microsoft? Safer than one in your back office.
Having someone else deal with the server issue is an advantage. It’s natural to have concerns that moving your data onto external servers may be risky or less reliable. Truth is: the opposite is the case.
Launched in 2010, Azure continues to mature rapidly and is today trusted by 95% of the world’s largest companies, from Rio Tinto to Lufthansa. Its capacity to store data is infinite and expanding by the minute. Due to Azure’s size (with servers spread across data centres in 140 countries and counting), servers can also handle network overloads much better, meaning faster load times and ability to get the work done.
Where a lone business server is always at risk of shutting down when hit by too many queries, cloud servers can quickly balance large amounts of traffic between each other. They cooperate – and allow us to get you a better outcome, that simply works when you need it.
