Migrating on -premises application to windows azure platform (microsoft cloud)

Legacy systems are usually attached with outdated technologies which over time become a bottleneck for organizations to manage and maintain. Old and poorly utilized architecture make systems run slow and far from expected, however sometimes organization cannot live without those. Renewing applicatio...
