"With Azure, we can enhance our learning platform in new and exciting ways to engage learners and make learning stick. We can find innovative ways to transport employees from their hotel in Beijing to the vineyards of Bordeaux, to provide not just facts but inspiration."
“Yes, this tool is helping us address COVID, but it goes beyond that. The Microsoft platform has been a catalyst for an avalanche of change in this organization. This goes to the heart of what the UN offers. Technology helps us better meet our larger responsibilities towards peace and stability.”
“Both their expertise around compliance and the innovation they bring to that realm help us to create the greatest value from the latest technologies like VR and machine learning in order to improve behavioral health and help make an impact in people’s lives today.”
“It ultimately comes down to how we scale individual processes and what the cost implication will be. Our old SAP costing run would take about 12 hours. But with Azure Synapse we can scale out and have that data in five minutes or even at the push of a button – helping us explore use cases based on customer demand and quickly understand how we can adapt or develop new technologies.”
"With Azure constantly launching new products and services, we are making sure we keep up to date with any new developments/releases so we can constantly implement new solutions that enable us to deliver on our promise of providing an even faster product to our customers. We also adopt new releases into our software to deliver a powerful true cloud offering to our customers. Azure also enabled us to speed up our international roll-out, as we will be hosting data in Brazilian data centres soon. This will allow us to cater for more customers in international regions with a unified solution."
“Another reason is that you can really feel how focused Microsoft is on the product—there are so many new things to discover almost every day.” When PlayFab, a back-end platform for live games, merged with Microsoft in 2018, it, too, was based on Azure. This reaffirmed Kolibri Games’ confidence in the cloud platform. Having everything running in Azure from that point on meant we could better optimize certain things and it helped improve our understanding of the PlayFab infrastructure.”
“The way they’re designed mean Azure and Microsoft 365 can be highly integrated, which makes it much easier to manage things like access and accounts.”
"This experience totally changed my mind about using Azure. We had incredible support from that team, who very quickly set up a completely functional system for us. Better yet, the next models we run will take one tenth of the time, and we will be able to use what we’ve built as a springboard to study new mask designs and how fluctuations in suction and cannula flow impact the airborne particles."
“Virtuality has come to stay. There's no turning back now. We have created a new way of doing justice, and our goal is to make the entire justice system nationwide learn to adapt to change.”
“Little by little we will turn to the new normal. However, this new normal is going to bring along many of the new modalities that we adopted throughout the pandemic. Being able to implement hybrid models on the virtual audiences is extremely valuable; we’re starting to open up many possibilities for proper stakeholder engagement through Teams. This makes justice more accessible.”
"When the pandemic hit, I was asked if, somehow, we could do face-to-face audiences. It was impossible. But very soon we discovered Microsoft Teams. Through technology’s help, we have provided an answer to the justice system’s users."
“Artificial intelligence will provide key insights into our operations to help us become a safer and more efficient business. This will be a key enabler in our transition from an international oil company to an integrated energy company.”
“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.”
“By using this digital twin to look at both past data and predict future data, it’s invaluable. If this was rolled out across bp assets, we have the opportunity to reduce emissions by around 500,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent every year.”
“The main problem was system aging. This called for immediate development of a replacement. Another issue was stand-alone operation of former ABLOG SYSTEM. Previously, whenever modified regulations or changing business needs required a system update, we had to furnish each vessel with CD-ROMs containing the latest version for the crew to install. This process required time and effort; it was quite a formidable task to ensure that all target vessels carried out the update.”
