Creating Better Workflows and Security for Businesses Austin, TX — October 10, 2017 — Clarity Ventures announced today that it has entered into a partnership with Microsoft Azure, a platform that delivers advanced features during development and adds increased security. Azure eCommerce is yet another tool that Clarity can use to provide extremely secure websites and back-office software to its customers. “Azure is so popular because it’s so good, offering over 500 features that might otherwise have to be sourced from many different companies,” said Ron Halversen, VP Sales and Marketing at Clarity Ventures. “It’s an extremely robust infrastructure-as-a-service platform. This includes the important ability to set up virtualized environments for hosting applications, persisting the data, and allowing NoSQL caching, as well as networking, infrastructure, security, data storage, load balancing, firewalls...the list goes on.” Working with Azure SaaS allows Clarity to offer its clients an advanced set of features, with some of these features benefiting Clarity as well. Azure enables high availability, high redundancy, and failover capabilities that protect both Clarity and the client. Azure is also known for its ongoing monitoring and threat detection. “This is extremely powerful for our clients,” said Chris Reddick, president and CEO of Clarity. “We’ve been able to use it to host sites, ERPs, and CRMs that contain protected data such as GDPR and HIPAA websites and portals. It’s also very reliable at protecting PCI DSS and other financial data.” Azure also allows Clarity to set up physically proximate infrastructure around the world to help companies comply with local tax codes and to reduce page loading times. “We also work with the Azure DevOps tool, and we do a lot of internal work with their pipelines and their continuous integration/continuous deployment,” continues Reddick. “This helps us optimize clients’ DevOps and workflows during initial development and after they go live with their applications, so we can continue to help them operate their business after the project has launched.” Clarity’s partnership with Azure offers excellent opportunities that Clarity can pass along to its clients, and having certified developers is yet another draw for potential customers.
