AT&T develops a new way to work, with a cloud-first approach in Azure
AT&T had reached a point where the complexity of its IT environment was hampering its ability to respond quickly to new customer needs and market opportunities. It decided to move to a cloud-first approach in Azure, migrating approximately a third of its 7,500 applications to the cloud and retiring another third. This reduced its on-premises infrastructure requirements by about 70 percent and reduced IT costs by about 30 percent. Moving development to Azure saves developers weeks of setup time, enabling much quicker product and services development cycles.
