Microsoft Azure Cloud computing services are now available at affordable prices and accessible for all scales of businesses. The economic benefits to adopting Cloud computing are enormous and many leading companies in Slovenia have already embraced Microsoft Azure Cloud computing workloads over the past few years. However, the cloud adoption rate is still lower than Western EU countries or even CEE average. In part, this can be contributed to confusion around the cloud financial impact, management and business benefits. While it's widely considered to be cheaper than On-Premisses, even some experienced business transformational leaders, IT departments, BDMs and decision makers have troubles justifying increase in OPEX costs effectively making their companies unable to realize their full potential, having substantially lower income margins, quality of service and speed to market. This presentation's aims is to deal with this confusion by going back to the basics, share concrete use cases from Adriatic region, deal with main cloud adoption blockers, explain new offerings like Reserved Instances, and showcase Microsoft's Azure Public Cloud Platform Services and ISV solutions which should be considered as a starting point on the path of Cloud adoption. A part of the presentation will explain the added value of Azure Stack which can be used in connected and disconnected mode. The main focus will be on Microsoft Intelligent Cloud - Infrastructure and Applications domain.
