Bing Maps to Azure Maps Migration Consulting

Why Migrate from Bing Maps to Azure Maps?

Microsoft has announced the retirement of Bing Maps for Enterprise, with free/basic accounts ending June 30, 2025 and enterprise accounts ending June 30, 2028. To ensure uninterrupted mapping services, organizations must transition to Azure Maps, Microsoft's next-generation, cloud-native mapping platform.

Azure Maps offers enhanced features, improved security, and deep integration with the Azure ecosystem. Migrating now ensures your applications remain supported, secure, and benefit from ongoing innovation.
