Microsoft Azure Cloud Platform

ASC software systems can run on the Microsoft Azure Cloud Platform, in addition to our in-house installation option.

Azure provides full server infrastructure, meaning you can choose to run only ASC Software or all your applications on an Azure server and no longer maintain servers in-house. This means remote access is conveniently available to your staff who need it. Working from home or other remote locations is simple as bandwidth is not an issue plus your server maintenance fees may be less.

Azure offers easy scalability, you pay for what you need and if upgrades are required they are done with a simple flip of a switch.

Frequently Asked Questions
