“We’re teaching our staff that there’s only so many things that you can do in an offline fashion. Some say, ‘I want an offline capable application or solution.’ We’re telling them, ‘No. You need a connection because that almost guarantees that you have the right information at the right time and place.”
"Our ability to present insights from 20-plus data sources whether on the web or on an app, allows a Microsoft sales professional to find information fast and focus on the customer."
"As early adopters of both Azure and Office 365, we have been able to integrate our services, scale seamlessly, and save costs. We can securely map across different devices and platforms."
"By moving MSN to Microsoft Azure, we are able to expand services with a significantly reduced staff. We’ve redirected people from support tasks to developing new services."
“By using DocumentDB, we have the ability to store any type of data and to query that data in a rich way.”
"Between the performance and scalability enhancements in Windows Server 2012 R2 and the availability features in SQL Server 2012, we can virtualize our biggest databases with no availability concerns."
“It’s really been uncanny; as soon as we need a new capability, it appears in the next release of Windows Server or System Center. We’ve seen that happen again and again.”
"With the information protection improvements in Windows Server 2012 R2, our customers can give their employees the freedom to use their own devices without jeopardizing corporate data. That’s something that every CEO in the world wants right now."
"The ability to spin up a software-defined network in about eight minutes while eliminating a $20,000 cost is a huge benefit."
"With the efficiencies that Windows Server 2016 makes possible, we’re freeing up time that our consultants can put toward more billable work."
"With Hadoop on Windows Azure, we can mine data and understand our audience in a way we never could before. It’s really the BI solution for the future."
"To recover a file, all we need is the date and time the file was deleted and the file is restored in a matter of minutes, compared to several days using the old system."
"We would not have won any of these deals without basing our solutions on the Azure global platform. Azure really gives us the reach we need to expand our business."
"We can go from being a national service organization to a global service organization, by using Windows Azure."
That’s a significant increase for us. On-premises, if we had a disaster, we could be out for a week. We don’t anticipate that happening on Microsoft Azure.”
