Organizations reported a 466% return on investment and $5.91 million in net present value from shifting application development and deployment from Azure IaaS to Azure PaaS. This shift saved 80% of IT time and resulted in 50% faster service deployment times. Azure PaaS provides pre-built infrastructure and services including Azure App Service, Azure Functions, and Azure Service Fabric to simplify development and allow developers to focus on their application code rather than infrastructure management.
