"We are proud to serve more than 20 customers in the Azure Cloud. It enables fast, on-demand scaling for optimal performance and a variety of best-of-breed applications in the Azure Marketplace. These include the Intershop Commerce Suite, which can be integrated with other solutions via standard interfaces. Our joint customers are thus positioned future-proof and flexibly.
