We will take some time to go through the advantages of MS Azure and how this service along with Visual Studio and Visual Studio online can help improve your continuous deployment techniques. Geocent is making a huge push this year to integrate these tools into our Development Life Cycle and I hope to share some of the experiences we have had to help with your current processes.
