Dip into Windows Azure was developed by ICS Solutions in September 2009 as an exclusive campaign for Microsoft. The campaign was developed to provide a unique Azure trial platform, resources, sample application and tutorial to help users take the first step to Cloud computing.

An overwhelming 3,900 successful registrations were processed. Dip into Windows Azure was available to all roles and sectors including Web Developers (35%) and Systems Integrators (21%). 45% of users signed up to the programme for a general interest in the new technology, and 25% of users had a specific Azure requirement.
24 educations ‘next steps with Azure’ webinars were held by ICS Solutions to take users to the suggested next steps on their Azure journey. Over 360 people were educated through this process and ICS Solutions then created in-person Azure seminars in January 2010.
Dip into Windows Azure provided customers with a fantastic entry point to have in-depth discussions with ICS Solutions about their transition to the Cloud. The trial programme also strengthened our relationship with the Microsoft Azure product teams and has allowed us to continue developing programmes, services offerings and marketing initiatives.
