Why Wordbee is migrating to Azure

Because many of our corporate customers expressed an interest in Azure, we have examined the advantages Azure could offer. We have learnt that Microsoft Azure can help enhance the availability, scalability, reliability and security of your Wordbee Translator platform. Most importantly, Azure has the most comprehensive compliance coverage with more than 70 compliance certificates, and it was the first major cloud provider to contractually commit to the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Azure Business Benefits

Working on the Microsoft Azure Servers will have a positive impact on your daily work.

Security

The Microsoft Azure data centres have several layers of physical and operational security that ensure the safety and integrity of your data. It also ensures the availability and confidentiality of your files.

Technology

Wordbee will be able to use the latest technology available on the market.

Scalability

With Azure, you will have immediate access to as much storage and computing power as you need. Wordbee will be able to scale alongside your business.

Speed

Thanks to the Microsoft network power, Wordbee will be able to improve connectivity over the globe. The Azure infrastructure is available in 19 regions across the globe, including data centres in China, Asia and the Pacific.

Plan your migration

The following pages show you how to plan the migration and how Wordbee can support you during the process.

Wordbee’s tasks

  • Contact you and prepare all the steps necessary for the migration.

    • We send you the exact date of the change and the new URL of your platform (except for custom domains which remain the same).

    • You prepare the migration on your side. See the Client’s tasks listed below.    

  • A few hours before the migration, a message will appear on your platform alerting the logged-in users.

  • Your platform will be disabled during the migration time that was communicated prior to you.

  • An email is sent to the Administrator(s) of the platform when the migration is complete, no additional action is necessary on your part (except those listed in the Client’s Tasks below).

In case of any issues, Wordbee will interrupt the migration and reactivate your platform on our servers. No data will be lost and everything will be exactly the same as before. We'll solve the problem and plan a new migration date together with you.
