"E-commerce leader, Intershop, has built a global customer base by seizing the opportunities of the cloud. But supporting its software with database solutions led to complex and expensive licensing, over-provisioning instead of flexible scale, and fewer cloud benefits for its customers. Committed to offering customers the best options, Intershop migrated to Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Azure SQL Database. Customers report dramatic leaps in performance, and Intershop has made its e-commerce services even more attractive in new markets."
