The transition includes rehosting and refactoring hundreds of applications and petabytes of data into a fully managed Azure Local Edge environment. According to CareSuper CTO Simon Reiter, the shift isn\u2019t just about cost or performance today.<\/span><span id=\"input-sentence~3\"> It\u2019s about choosing a platform that won\u2019t age out in five years.<\/p>\n<p>What sets this project apart is Macquarie Cloud Services\u2019 unusual commitment: assuming full financial risk for the migration. That means CareSuper isn\u2019t paying for the project up front.<\/span><span id=\"input-sentence~4\"> Instead, the success of the transition dictates value\u2014something rarely seen in enterprise IT transformations. Reiter described the deal structure as a clear signal of confidence and alignment between both parties.<\/p>\n<p>Macquarie\u2019s Azure strategy is anchored in platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offerings, database modernization, and building a new Azure landing zone tailored to CareSuper\u2019s needs.<\/span><span id=\"input-sentence~5\"> But the broader story here may be what\u2019s happening around AWS. According to Macquarie\u2019s Head of Azure, Naran McClung, more organizations are quietly stepping away from AWS due to cost pressures and architectural limitations. He believes the real advantage isn\u2019t just moving workloads, but helping clients evolve them once they\u2019re in the right place.<\/p>\n<p>With Macquarie holding the elite Azure Expert MSP status for four years running, and showing consistent growth in its Azure division, the deal with CareSuper suggests a market where loyalty to hyperscalers is fading\u2014and value-driven flexibility is gaining ground.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CareSuper, a major Australian superannuation fund, has decided to move away from VMware Cloud on AWS and transition its infrastructure to Microsoft Azure.
