Artificial intelligence (AI) revolutionizes business, prompting organizations to invest in supportive technologies. To fully harness the power of AI, businesses must be AI-ready. This means they need the right infrastructure for scalability, stability, and flexibility. This lets IT teams focus on driving strategic business solutions rather than managing outdated infrastructure and high capital costs.
The Total Economic Impact™ Of Migrating To Microsoft Azure For AI Readiness
Why should organizations consider migrating to Azure for AI readiness? Microsoft commissioned* Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study and examine the potential benefits and financial impacts enterprises may realize by migrating to Azure for AI readiness. Forrester aggregated the results from these customers into a single composite organization that migrated from on-premises to Azure infrastructure and deployed AI and ML.
Read this 2024 Forrester study to discover how the composite organization:
- Deploys AI use cases for $558,000 less over three years than if they deployed on-premises.
- Realizes 17 percent cost savings on deploying AI and ML and maintains AI and ML for 15 percent less for ongoing costs on Azure compared to on-premises.
- Enjoyed a culture of innovation promoted by Azure infrastructure that allows them to reinvest in and upskill resources previously focused on infrastructure to focus on new AI initiatives instead.
- Benefitted from the flexibility created by Azure infrastructure which allowed them to build and change AI applications with lower risk than they may have had previously.
The Azure cloud platform comprises more than 200 products and services to help build, run, and manage applications and provides purpose-built, AI-infused infrastructure. Microsoft’s “Migrate to innovate“ strategy helps organizations migrate to products such as Windows Server, Azure SQL, Azure VMware Solution, and Azure Arc to support innovation initiatives.

Don’t miss the opportunity to help your customers drive innovation, reduce costs, and unleash the full potential of AI with Microsoft Azure.
* To understand benefits, costs, and risks, Forrester interviewed seven representatives at five organizations and surveyed 322 respondents with experience deploying AI and machine learning (ML) either with on-premises infrastructure or on Azure cloud infrastructure. For the purposes of this study, Forrester aggregated the results from these customers into a single composite organization. The composite is a global enterprise organization that migrates from on-premises to Azure infrastructure and deploys AI and ML.
