“Our customers provide the contents as they are motivated by the feeling of ‘being viewed by someone’ and ‘helping someone.’ If a failure occurs in the system, it will have a significant impact on the customers’ motivations. It has a risk of losing both the readers and providers of the contents. The ‘quantity’ and ‘quality’ of the contents are essential elements for scaling up the service, and therefore we must eliminate factors that threaten them to the extent possible. At present, the company has the policy of using Azure for its web services infrastructure. Behind this policy, there is a desire to continue to provide services stably.”
"Scalability is one of the big benefits we get from Azure. In the past, it might have taken us months to procure and configure servers and get them into production. Now, we can scale up on demand in Azure in a matter of minutes."
"One criterion for selecting Azure was that it realized our concepts of the new digital platform. Another criterion was compatibility with Microsoft 365, and because Azure was used in our overseas business locations to enable a reliable network and SSO with Azure Active Directory."
“On Azure App Service, both horizontal and vertical scaling happen in no time.”
“Now, with Azure App Service, it is a one-time activity, and I don’t have to redo it.”
"Azure has evolved to offer different kinds of services, be it different PaaS services or other systems, that have really helped accelerate our development time. That’s why we switched to Azure App Service."
"We had a team of five people working on this, and they built it from scratch. The ease of use of the Azure services and the support we got from Microsoft made that possible."
"Over the coming decade, we plan to drill thousands of new wells and build dozens of new facilities. It’s challenging to keep up with that pace, but with Azure, we have the digital technology to help support our growth in a manageable and sustainable way."
“A lot of the equipment comes from a time when digital technology wasn’t as prevalent as it is today. We recognize the need for fundamental changes, and we see big data and analytics as the way of the future. To get there, we need to be able to access data from our field assets more efficiently and effectively. This will not only drive better business decisions, it will improve safety, sustainability, and the lives of our employees.”
“Azure makes this easy to do. The way we’ve set up the system to capture and store data, w
“They can then go out to those wells and troubleshoot them, getting everything done within an hour, when before it might have taken a day or two just to figure out which wells were down.”
"Microsoft Teams added to my Moodle course a reliable synchronous part, which was crucial for first-year students."
"The lockdown did not interrupt the management of the college, thanks to Microsoft Teams. It not only allowed meetings to go on, but also enabled document-sharing and timely feedback, all in one app."
"Microsoft Office 365 gives us the environment and tools to keep up our specific dental education in the global coronavirus pandemic and even speeds up the digital transformation of the university education."
"Our tech stack is on Visual Studio, ASP.NET, and programming languages like Visual Basic, C++, and C# are used to develop cloud-native applications. It is thus easy for tech teams to develop cloud-based enterprise applications. Also, Microsoft’s pay-as-you-go model allows you to pay for what you use to build or expand resources using Azure services. This cuts down the IT administration costs to a minimum, since infrastructure is handled by Microsoft on Azure."
