Sobees Social Media Service Provider Expands Offering, Attracts Customers with Cloud Services

Sobees develops software that customers can use to manage all of their social media information streams with a single application. The aggregator is popular among consumers who use applications such as Twitter and Facebook, and it recently earned a spot as the leading application on the Yahoo! Mail portal in Europe. With that exposure, and the potential to acquire millions of new customers, Sobees wasn’t confident that the small hosting company it used could provide the reliability and scalability it needed. Sobees migrated its solution to the Windows Azure platform and also developed a new service on Windows Azure, which it plans to make available to other companies through the Microsoft technology code-named “Dallas.” By choosing Windows Azure, Sobees improved the scalability, reliability, and performance of its applications, and maintained costs, even with 10 times more business.

A very cool Azure case from our friends on the French part of Switzerland!
