Supporting a Critical Cloud Strategy at Apotek 1
Apotek 1 is one of Norway's largest pharmacy chains, responsible for the packaging, distribution, and sale of pharmaceutical products nationwide. Over five years ago, they began migrating key on-premise business systems to Microsoft Azure, driven by a need for greater reliability, scalability, and cost efficiency.
Azure is now central to Apotek 1's daily operations. Their core services, including logistics, packaging systems, and internal tools, rely on Azure App Services, Azure Container Apps, and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). As the environment matured, the conversation naturally shifted from migration to optimization. That's when Apotek 1 brought in Innofactor, to help them reduce cloud consumption costs while maintaining operational stability and accelerating service delivery.
