Noon payments has migrated its core operations to Azure

Dubai-based e-commerce business noon payments has moved its core operations to Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform.

Noon payments, entering its seventh year of operations, is adopting to a post-coronavirus reality where consumers are demanding more instantaneous service.

“As a payment service provider, we needed to respond in real-time to any kind of demand spike and to give our merchants the instant response times they expect,” said Marco Incalcaterra, head of technology at noon payments. “Microsoft offers the most comprehensive solution in the market; the products are connected to one another. The company’s large, flexible offering was one of the key factors in choosing Microsoft as our partner that will enable us to develop a strong, resilient, easy-to-scale platform.”

Before its migration to Azure, noon payments had to deploy new apps and services through the PowerShell script, which was an error-prone process that required a lot of support from experts. Now, the company’s quality assurance team can deploy at will, day or night, to the cloud environment with a single click and zero consultation with DevOps. And with Microsoft’s API management solution noon payments can not only scale without limit, but also protect its infrastructure.

“Being a holistic payments platform, organizations like noon payments play a crucial role in enabling digital transformation for enterprises across the world,” said Naim Yazbeck, regional director, enterprise and partner group (EPG), Microsoft UAE. “It’s exciting to see how the Microsoft cloud is delivering millisecond response times and single-click deployment to noon payments, making online transactions more secure and responsive for online shoppers in the region.”
