Protocall realizes 45% cost savings with migration to Microsoft Azure environment designed and managed by Atmosera

Protocall Services (Protocall) is a national provider of telephonic crisis services and digital tools for behavioral health, with a mission to help people in need. To improve the reliability, security, and scalability of its infrastructure, Protocall embarked on a multistage cloud migration. On-premises and colocated systems no longer provided the performance or agility Protocall needed, so they reached out to Microsoft partner Atmosera to design and manage a new environment based on Microsoft Azure.

One of the benefits of working with Atmosera is that all we focus on is Azure, says Jon Thomsen, CEO of Atmosera. Its all we do, every day. Were the experts. However, this wasnt always the case for Atmosera. In 2014, they embarked on a similar digital transformation journey than Protocol did a few years later. They evolved from a traditional datacenter and private cloud company to a modern and innovative service provider with Azure. Atmosera was one of the first partners to participate in the Microsoft Data Center Optimization (DCO) program, which it uses with customers like Protocall.

Protocall leaned on Atmoseras experience with Azure services to design the architecture. Having guidance around best practices for spinning up cloud infrastructure was really invaluable for us, says Jrmie Bourque, Director of Software Engineering at Protocall. If we hadnt had Atmosera, we probably would have wasted a lot of time through experimentation and maybe have made poor choices. Protocalls migration has made it more agile and secure, with virtually 100 percent application infrastructure uptime. Many of Protocalls business processes are now simpler, and Atmoseras continuous management of the Azure environment allows Protocall to focus on its mission. Read the full customer story.
