PROS Expands European Cloud Footprint with New Microsoft Azure Germany
Global presence, data privacy and security, elastic computing power enable PROS modern commerce capabilities with dynamic pricing science
HOUSTON, May 3, 2017 – PROS (NYSE: PRO), a cloud software company powering the shift to modern commerce, has expanded its cloud footprint into two new Microsoft Azure Germany regions to support its multi-national modern commerce requirements. Microsoft Azure offers hyper-scale and flexibility as PROS requirements evolve, enabling the company to accommodate PROS customers in any Microsoft Azure region around the world. The company is now live in ten Azure regions, including four in North America, four across Europe and two in Asia Pacific.
Azure Germany is a first-of-its-kind offering in Europe, developed in response to customer needs. Customer data is stored at rest exclusively in Germany, and under strict customer data access and control measures via a unique data trustee model, provided by German law. The data trustee, T-Systems International GmbH, an independent German company and subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom, restricts access to customer data by anyone other than the customer and their users. Azure Germany offers additional assurances for compliance with German data-handling regulations, and provides customers with new choices for how and where data is processed.
“Customers look to PROS to ensure the privacy and security of some of their most important commercial assets,” said PROS Chief Technology Officer Rob Reiner. “It’s why we’ve chosen Microsoft Azure as the preferred platform for our modern commerce solutions. Customers can be confident that the high reliability and operational excellence of Azure and its datacenters deliver a trustworthy experience. PROS long-term collaboration with Microsoft drives greater opportunities to co-sell, co-market and co-innovate, and mobilize greater awareness and adoption of our modern commerce solutions, powered by dynamic pricing science.”
“Companies around the world look to us to provide the core infrastructure for their most complex operating environments, and Azure is helping customers accelerate their digital transformations in the cloud,” said Garth Fort, General Manager, Partner Channel Marketing, Microsoft Corp. “We appreciate the opportunity to help PROS and help deliver on its vision for cloud computing.”
