“Until we started working on connected bp 2.0 with Microsoft and their digital twin technology, we still hadn’t landed on what the best technology was. But we wanted the first use case to be aligned with our joint sustainability goals.”
"Azure support for open source is as good as or better than AWS, depending on the software. I get the same performance for lower cost. For example, because we can configure the Mongo virtual machines with greater granularity, we saved 20 percent of the cost of running them on AWS."
"We consider Microsoft Azure instrumental in helping us bring our unique cloud-based 3D reconstruction capabilities to a global customer base. By combining them with the reach and scalability of Azure, we’re able to bring a cutting-edge offering to the market."
"Whether getting ready to launch a product or provide ongoing performance support, we can take advantage of our Azure cloud-based XstreamVideo solution to provide information quickly across the world."
"By choosing Windows Azure, we could deliver a BI solution in two weeks with minimal investment. If we had deployed a traditional solution, it would have taken us 6 to 12 months to get similar results."
"We had a matter of weeks to get the website up and running, and knew that Microsoft Azure would provide us with the speed, scale, and elasticity that such an important campaign required."
"We’ve had a great relationship with Microsoft going back to the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and have had great success with our endeavors together."
"A record number of viewers were engaged with NBC Olympics’ coverage of the Rio Games, and the overall response was incredibly positive. By working with Microsoft and our other partners, we hit it out of the park when it came to delivering at a high quality level."
"By developing Conductor in Microsoft Azure, we were able to get it from concept to pilot very quickly—in about three months—and position it for equally quick adoption."
"Using an Azure-hosted development model was a great way to speed up the development cycle. There was very little friction in transitioning our staff to Azure."
"Microsoft technologies enable us to innovate much quicker. I think that the great story here is that there are so many integrated tools now that streamline workflow, consolidate data, and automate prediction so that we can stop worrying about infrastructure. We can just focus on our job, which is forecasting."
"The number-one benefit to the sales teams is ease of use. With apps powered by Azure Mobile Services, they can immediately see where we have equipment installed without having to call a home office."
"Because management time and cost is so low with Windows Azure, we focus on growing the business, not on managing red tape. As a result, we estimate that we’re bringing in 50 percent more revenue."
“With thousands of installations across the world, we couldn’t keep track of our software and hardware deployments, which made it difficult to understand our market penetration.”
“The platform provides us with an opportunity to quickly scale a full solution and provide updates within a very short response time. The benefits of the Azure Mobile Services platform place the power in the hands of our development team.”
