3854 Microsoft Azure Testimonials

"Global coordination aided by the Microsoft Cloud has helped us manage our complex projects with many moving parts and multi-year sales and development cycles."

"Azure enables you to run the same modules at the edge, fog, and cloud from the get-go, which was exactly what we wanted with this project."

"From voice fingerprinting to facial recognition to video object detection, Azure provides the speed, reliability, and security our customers demand to gain insight and maximize intelligence from the world’s untapped media resources."

"We were able to go from prototype to production in just 12 weeks. That would not have been possible without Microsoft Power Platform."

“Our reputation is at stake every day. We deal with industries where the availability and well-functioning of the system that handles their logistics processes is key.”

“We saw Microsoft Power Platform as an ideal way to address a complex, financial problem in a very short period of time."

“The name of this cute cartoon character—Oruri-chan—actually originated from a Japanese play on words about making requests. The name reflects the idea that chatbots can respond to all sorts of requests. We were able to prove that we could increase convenience quickly and at low cost through in-house agile development that employed technology we already had, like Microsoft Teams, and by building more awareness of DX. We even won an in-house contest related to DX. We plan to continue proactively promoting this sort of solution to contribute to DX at NTT Communications.”

“At the same time, we also were able to release it so quickly because our whole team committed to the ambitious challenge. We have a conservative corporate culture, but over the last few years, we have been urged to shift from defense to offense. With the company embracing that attitude, we have been able to move forward with no resistance to the unprecedented philosophy within the company of delivering a working version that we then improve. We can feel a groundswell toward more proactive behavior in the company, sparked by the release of Oruri-chan.”

“It’s a new discovery that chatbots help keep people mentally healthy. We are now developing the ability to regularly deliver messages that, for instance, encourage people to take breaks or remind them of the season or share interesting bits of trivia. We have also received a lot of inquiries about Oruri-chan from companies both inside and outside the NTT Group.”

“Qiita, an online tech data sharing service for programmers, hosts articles written by Microsoft people. And GitHub has a lot of sample code. With these resources to refer to, development went quickly. In December 2019, we were invited to a Microsoft Japan hackathon, where we were able to get information directly from Microsoft point people.”

“The project started with the minimum number of people to keep it nimble. When necessary, we reached out to key personnel in other departments. First, we started development and testing to explore practical feasibility through trial and error in a development environment divorced from the actual environment.”

"Working with Microsoft has given us an opportunity to look at our entire approach to delivering IT services, to reshape our way of thinking and the culture of the IT department. It has turned us from a department which hasn’t always been able to meet the demands of a modern local authority to one that can offer real solutions and drive innovation across the entire business."

"The speed of Azure Disk Storage is amazing to us. We’ve run tests with both flat files and databases, and we were floored time after time at how performant the underlying disk is."

"Once you digitize voice, you can drive a huge amount of automation. You can produce valuable insights that can benefit customers. I think the obviousness of the benefit will outlive any challenges."

“With the interactive, intuitive, and engaging UI in conversation intelligence, our Investec teams can easily drill down for more detail to make perfect sense of the information they’re given.”
