"Thanks to faster, more efficient processes at the edge, we’re anticipating significant improvements and cost savings. That’s with the overall algorithm savings. Once we scale some of these things, we could see even more substantial savings."
"Azure Synapse has proven to be a robust solution that offers the scalability and resilience we need to keep growing, helping us to guarantee excellent application performance and deliver a product of great value to our customers."
"The Azure FXT Edge Filer effectively serves as a giant shield between the render farm and our NetApp storage. With the reduced demand and wear and tear on our production filers, we’ve been able to run existing storage infrastructure for years and years."
“This is where our decision to implement this technology is truly paying off. Because by having a two-way communication, as opposed to just getting the data in, we can make a real impact on the environment.”
“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.”
