Make the smart choice for retail
If you are a retailer, you have important reasons to consider whether you should place your critical business applications and data with AWS. Many large retailers have already moved away from using AWS. As Amazon continues to extend its reach into other sectors, including grocery, package delivery, and healthcare, there is potential for it to compete directly against many of its AWS customers.
Azure is focused on empowering customers to achieve more with new, innovative services that support your business. By providing industry-leading benefits like Azure IP Advantage and the Microsoft Shared Innovation Initiative, Azure helps ensure that your intellectual property and investments in innovation are protected.
