Business Challenge
- WorldNow used SQL Server 2008 for its relational database
- Growing demand and maintenance costs drove WorldNow to explore other options for its database
- WorldNow was interested in leveraging the cloud but did not have in-house staff with expertise in cloud computing
- WorldNow needed to understand the exact costs and effort involved with leveraging the cloud to achieve their objectives.
