What certainty does Azure offer you?

Recently, we informed you about the transition to Microsoft's Azure platform and how this provides greater certainty regarding the hosting of our SaaS solution.


Below, you can read about the benefits this transition offers you:

  • Improved Performance
    Through a more modern implementation where functions are separated across resources, we can provide better performance for individual timers, web servers, database servers, and FS clients. Azure's networks ensure optimized use of the Florisoft system, with monitoring and alerts for constant performance oversight.

  • Better Performance Guarantees
    Azure’s modern networks and hardware allow us to consistently guarantee improved performance for the Florisoft system.

  • Faster Implementation
    With fewer dependencies, such as VPN tunnels, implementation can proceed faster, allowing you to benefit from the new environment sooner.

  • Enhanced Security
    Azure is highly resistant to external threats. Advanced security features such as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) are part of the standard package. If desired, we can add ‘whitelists’ for known locations, excluding them from MFA. This is particularly useful for logistical workspaces.

  • Scalability and Easy Management
    Azure's scalable environment allows us to grow with your needs without affecting performance or ease of management. The platform is also designed for simple management, enabling you to focus on your core activities while we maintain a stable infrastructure for our Florisoft hosting.

  • No VPN Required
    Since costly, unstable VPN tunnels are no longer needed for printing or file exchanges, you’re no longer dependent on complex implementations or coordination with external parties. Your system connection is faster and more efficient, ensuring smooth and stable operation of your Florisoft environment.

  • Automatic Updates and Backup Processes
    All server updates and backups are carried out automatically, ensuring your environment is always up to date and protected. This is done without interruptions in system performance.

  • Azure Disaster Recovery (ASR)
    Azure already provides high availability and uptime guarantees. However, if you require extra certainty, you can opt for the additional service: Azure Disaster Recovery (ASR). ASR helps ensure service continuity by automatically replicating data and applications to a secondary location. This minimizes downtime and ensures service availability, even in the event of a failure in the production environment's data center. With ASR, we can easily switch to another data center. Ask us about the possibilities.

In short, the transition to Azure is an important step toward further professionalizing and optimizing the hosting of our Florisoft software and our SaaS services. We are confident that this change will contribute to a better user experience, lower costs, and enhanced security. For other IT services, such as Office, email, and network solutions, we will continue to work closely with our trusted hardware partners.

We will keep you informed of all updates related to this transition.
