From on-prem to cloud — Norma EXPERT

Athenasoft modernized its flagship construction costing app so customers can work from anywhere.

Outdated systems and missing cloud know-how hold many Polish firms back. Athenasoft chose cloud maturity instead—moving a market-leading on-prem product into a scalable Microsoft cloud model.

The challenge

A popular app stuck on-prem

With 25+ years in construction IT, Athenasoft’s Norma EXPERT was advanced—but only available locally.

  • On-prem-only access

    Norma EXPERT could prepare complex cost estimates and integrate with planning systems, yet customers could only use the local version.

  • Changing customer expectations

    Digital transformation made an on-prem-only model conservative and misaligned with clients who prefer cloud delivery.

  • Competitiveness at risk

    Staying local meant losing ground to cloud-first offerings. Athenasoft needed to anticipate customer needs and raise market competitiveness.

The solution

Cloud migration + Microsoft Marketplace

Moving the solution to the cloud was step one. Optimizing the investment and managing cloud infrastructure came next.

APN Promise proposed Microsoft Marketplace so Athenasoft could open new sales channels, run services fully in the cloud, and scale the business. As a long-time Microsoft partner, Athenasoft chose Marketplace for reach, support, stability, and growth—backed by Promise’s Azure ISV specialization in the CSP program.

What Athenasoft and its clients gained

  • Simpler licensing & ops

    License management became smoother, and customers no longer needed to administer the system themselves.

  • Cloud-first demand met

    Clients who prefer cloud versions were served—and new customers who rejected on-prem could finally adopt Norma EXPERT.

  • Anywhere, anytime access

    Full flexibility: every client can reach the solution from any place, at any time, through scalable Marketplace channels.
