Partner success stories<\/h3>\n

Protocall realizes 45% cost savings with migration to Microsoft Azure environment designed and managed by Atmosera<\/strong><\/p>\n

Protocall Services (Protocall) is a national provider of telephonic crisis services and digital tools for behavioral health, with a mission to help people in need. To improve the reliability, security, and scalability of its infrastructure, Protocall embarked on a multistage cloud migration. On-premises and colocated systems no longer provided the performance or agility Protocall needed, so they reached out to Microsoft partner Atmosera to design and manage a new environment based on Microsoft Azure.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the benefits of working with Atmosera is that all we focus on is Azure,\u201d says Jon Thomsen, CEO of Atmosera. \u201cIt\u2019s all we do, every day. We\u2019re the experts.\u201d However, this wasn\u2019t always the case for Atmosera. In 2014, they embarked on a similar digital transformation journey than Protocol did a few years later. They evolved from a traditional datacenter and private cloud company to a modern and innovative service provider with Azure. Atmosera was one of the first partners to participate in the Microsoft Data Center Optimization (DCO) program, which it uses with customers like Protocall.<\/p>\n

Protocall leaned on Atmosera\u2019s experience with Azure services to design the architecture. \u201cHaving guidance around best practices for spinning up cloud infrastructure was really invaluable for us,\u201d says J\u00e9r\u00e9mie Bourque, Director of Software Engineering at Protocall. \u201cIf we hadn\u2019t had Atmosera, we probably would have wasted a lot of time through experimentation and maybe have made poor choices.\u201d Protocall\u2019s migration has made it more agile and secure, with virtually 100 percent application infrastructure uptime. Many of Protocall\u2019s business processes are now simpler, and Atmosera\u2019s continuous management of the Azure environment allows Protocall to focus on its mission.
