Accelerate cloud transformation and end-to-end adoption of Azure at speed

Microsoft Azure offers a wide range of products and services to the retail industry. It aims to connect experiences across the end-to-end shopper journey with integrated and intelligent capabilities. By bringing the various data sources across the retail value chain, retailers will realize the true value of their data by enriching core business processes and turning data into actionable insights. Microsoft Azure for retail allows organizations to adopt the capabilities of organizations to address business needs and create an intelligent supply chain to reimage the business model. 

The databases and storage services make it possible to connect and combine data silos, creating a digital feedback loop. The data is then synthesized to drive improved business outcomes ranging from customer demand, commerce, payments, and distribution. Advanced analytics and AI solutions can help retailers gain actionable intelligence, develop intelligent applications, and support technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, and mixed reality.

Success story

Virtusa implemented Microsoft Azure for a large food retail chain to reduce cost and increase productivity

The client wanted real-time data visibility in its various retail stores. Virtusa implemented a hybrid cloud model for moving data between retail stores and backend applications. The team designed and implemented a cloud solution for retail stores’ productivity applications suite that serves a massive number of retail stores. This involved three cloud-based applications utilizing Azure features: worker roles and web roles, Blob Storages, Table Storages, SQL Azure Queues, and Azure Cache.

The solution implemented helped the client achieve real-time data movement to support new e-commerce solutions which serve retail stores. Increased hardware usage efficiencies and led to cost reductions in provisioning. The client achieved increased availability, usage optimization, and up-front cost reductions.
