3854 Microsoft Azure Testimonials

“We’ve always been very advanced in manufacturing technology but slower moving in IT operations. In 2013, we still used Lotus Notes for email and had a fragmented desktop environment. With 7,000 of our wired employees spread across multiple locations on six continents and some 60 manufacturing facilities, we sorely needed more empowering communications and collaboration technology. We wanted our employees to share ideas and improvements more frequently and very easily.”

"Now that we’ve established the Crate Analytics Platform’s relevance to employees in the plant, we’re ready to tap into broader functionality and introduce it to our corporate offices. We’re excited to discover what we can do next."

"With Azure Virtual Desktop, we can supply workers with a Windows 10 workstation within an hour, using FSLogix to lock down printing, file sharing, and copy-and-paste We store these roaming user profiles in our Azure datacenter, locked down and encrypted."

"I think Teams has really helped our small-group collaboration. I feel that math for my fourth-graders is going better this year than it normally does."

"Our Microsoft 365 A5 license is a big help in securing our environment. We tackle our biggest security gaps with single sign-on, multifactor authentication in Azure Active Directory, and BitLocker."

"I love the pop-out chat feature in Teams. Even in a classroom with other students, I can use it to connect with one child. We both have our earbuds in; no one else knows that we’re even talking. The privacy of that feature is phenomenal."

"I run the class as a Teams meeting on my device at school so that kids sitting in their living rooms can still hear what’s going on, interacting with me and with their classmates at school. That connection has made a big impact this year."

"We’ve managed to host on Microsoft Azure various technical and business services, which had many opportunities for on-premises improvement. Working in the cloud has brought us incredible benefits, way beyond those initially projected in business cases. "

“At CABEI, we’ve embarked on an accelerated race to catch up on technological issues. We’ve faced difficult trials that forced us to both learn very quickly and take action so we can serve all of our member countries."

"Through the digital transformation process, we seek to implement a strong platform that will provide us with new digital possibilities. We think about remote work in a vigorous and comprehensive way, since mobility through the region is a frequent topic for our collaborators."

“Meetings that previously were face-to-face are now virtual, with a historically high level of attendance and participation. Through the Teams‑Yammer integration, during one of our presidency-staff communication sessions, more than 160 questions and answers were published, generating 10,124 readings and more than 500 likes.”

"It was key for us to develop an agile supply chain to handle volatile customer demand and gain data-based business intelligence to inform our decision making. Azure was our infrastructure of choice."

"More than 150,000 orders have been delivered through our ‘Pay & Collect’ service. Orders are ready for pickup in just 20 minutes after being placed on the website. The industry benchmark is two hours."

“Because space was such an issue, we put a lot of effort into archiving, which meant a lot of manual effort and business disruption.”

“We have around 80 offices, and many of our leases are for only three to five years. So, as you can imagine, we move around a lot. But these office moves gave us a great opportunity to start phasing in Azure Files naturally. Every time we moved, we replaced the old server from that office with a scaled-down newer one and implemented Azure File Sync.”
