Windows Azure Inner Circle Grows with Neudesic

Microsoft
has expanded its Windows Azure PaaS partner advisory council yet again with the
announcement that custom cloud application developer Neudesic would be joining
the Azure Circle program.
Much
like previous circle entrant Nimbo, Neudesic is claiming to have plenty of
experience in developing cloud solutions designed to meet specific customer
needs, all hosted from the Microsoft Windows Azure cloud. Its most-hyped
offering is the Cloud Computing Assessment, which, according to Neudesic, can
calculate a pretty solid estimate of the ROI and TCO savings from going to a
Microsoft cloud.
"This
achievement clearly acknowledges the serious investment Neudesic has made in
developing and delivering world-class cloud computing solutions on Microsoft’s
Azure Platform. Our experts are leading the way in bringing practical,
real-world solutions for customers to the cloud, streamlining operations and
increasing revenue,” said Neudesic CEO Parsa Rohani in a prepared statement.
But
with great honor comes great responsibility: Neudesic now is tasked with
providing Microsoft feedback and suggestions on how Windows Azure can better
compete in the PaaS and cloud marketplaces. Microsoft is short on details when
it comes to this program, but it’s invitation-only and seems to be fairly
exclusive.
The Azure Circle program isn’t the only way
Microsoft recognizes its top cloud partners, but it’s the way that could result
in a stronger overall channel play for ISVs and integrators. Stay tuned to
TalkinCloud for more.
