From concept to delivery in 2 weeks with Windows Azure and Silverlight

Suppose you were asked to design and host an interactive map for the Taste of Chicago, which gets about 3 million visitors.  No problem. 

Now, suppose you only had 2 weeks to deliver the whole thing – from first phone call to finished product.   What would you do? 

If you were West Monroe Partners, you would turn to Silverlight so your designers and developers could work together more efficiently, and to Windows Azure so you didn’t have to worry about provisioning 25 servers on top of the design and development work. 

And what would the end result look like?  Something like this.

From concept to live site, and ready to handle all 3 million visitors if needed – in 2 weeks.  Hats off to the folks at West Monroe Partners!
