Microsoft Azure is helping the American Cancer Society reimagine how it supports cancer patients and engages donors by serving as the cloud backbone for its mobile experience. By building on Azure, the organization can:

• Scale on demand as more patients, caregivers, and donors use the Cancer.org mobile app.
• Cross-publish content from the Cancer.org website to the mobile app, keeping information consistent and up to date.
• Streamline development and operations using Visual Studio Team Services, which connects directly into Azure for continuous integration and deployment.

This combination of tools and cloud services makes it easier for the American Cancer Society to focus on its mission—supporting patients and funding research—while Azure handles the underlying infrastructure.

The American Cancer Society uses Visual Studio Tools for Xamarin to build and maintain its Cancer.org mobile app. Xamarin allows the development team to:

• Use a shared codebase to create apps for multiple platforms, reducing duplicate work.
• Integrate tightly with Azure, so app features like content, data, and services connect directly to the cloud.
• Deliver updates faster by combining Xamarin with Visual Studio Team Services for streamlined builds and releases.

By pairing Xamarin with Azure, the organization can efficiently support a modern mobile experience for patients, caregivers, and supporters across devices.

The Cancer.org mobile app, built with Visual Studio Tools for Xamarin and powered by Microsoft Azure, helps the American Cancer Society reshape how it raises funds and connects with people by:

• Making information and donation options more accessible on mobile devices, so supporters can engage from anywhere.
• Providing a seamless experience between the Cancer.org website and the app through cross-publishing on Azure.
• Supporting global reach by running on Azure’s cloud infrastructure, which can handle traffic from users around the world.

As a result, the organization can more easily reach donors, share its mission, and support people affected by cancer through a consistent, cloud-backed digital experience.
