Microsoft Azure can be hard to define. The sprawling platform is best known for its cloud, compute, storage, networking, and security solutions – offered on a pay-as-you-go-basis.
But it’s so much more than infrastructure. The Azure family contains a whopping 200+ products that span a diverse range of use cases from data warehousing and IoT streams to DevOps, conversational bots, and a DIY ML model builder.
Azure offers several solutions that make it easy for everyone — analysts, project teams, IT, the C-suite — to work with data in a secure environment. Professional services firms can use Azure to develop innovative solutions for both employees and customers, manage and protect their data, and migrate on-prem data sources and apps to the cloud.
In an effort to keep things brief, we’ll spotlight some of the most powerful solutions firms should know about — with some real-world examples that ground benefits and use cases in reality.
Azure AI includes a variety of low-code/no-code AI and machine learning solutions.

As you can see, Azure plays a crucial role in data management, security, analytics, and more – and is central to maximizing the impact of your entire stack.
