This situation has fortunately changed significantly. Microsoft has undergone an enormous transformation in the last decade. Under its CEO Satya Nadella, the company is pursuing a strategy of openness. Today, with Microsoft's world-leading development environments and in Microsoft Azure, all relevant programming languages can be used equally and solutions can be developed for all relevant target platforms as required. Many Microsoft solutions are now also provided as open source.

M&M Software consequently relies on Microsoft technologies and services when it comes to future topics such as digitalization, Cloud and IoT. Microsoft Azure is our preferred Cloud platform.

But also the avoidance of a system lock-in or the preservation of the data sovereignty of the customers are current topics that have to be considered. With the so-called cloud-native approach, based on technologies such as Kubernetes and Docker, we can exploit the advantages of an Azure cloud without allowing the dependencies on its services (and thus on the Microsoft platform) to become too great.

In the end, it depends on the individual needs of each customer whether they want to use the cloud services directly and thus very effectively, or rather indirectly and thus more independently. M&M Software masters both paths and helps each customer to take the path that fits them best.

As a Cloud Solution Provider, we can accompany you on the complete path of your digital transformation.

Together with you, we select the Azure services that are right for you, implement a solution tailored to your requirements and, if requested, we also operate these solutions for you in the cloud based on a service level agreement. We will also take care of the monthly billing of Azure resources to Microsoft for you.

Our status as a Cloud Solution Provider also includes an Advanced Support Agreement with Microsoft. This enables us to discuss critical issues for our customers quickly and directly with Microsoft experts. Whether in the architecture design phase or later during operation.

With M&M Software, you gain a partner who reliably and competently assists you in unlocking the benefits of what we consider to be the world's best public cloud for you and your solutions.
