“We needed a solution for all our stores. But we only needed it for two hours every night, between the time of new data availability and auto-order placement. The rest of the time it would be idle or occupied by low-priority tasks. Which is why we considered the cloud. We chose Azure Databricks as it allows flexible consumption. We tested it first on one cluster, then on another, eventually finding the right configuration. Now, we dynamically deploy hardware for calculation. As soon as the calculation ends, we stop it. So, we pay only for the time when it is used.”
"The switch from bot to human advisor is really important. With Azure, we transfer conversations from the bot to a service agent without losing the chat log, so the consumer experiences the entire interaction from a single interface."
"We are empowering our drivers with an app on their phones, where they have all the specific events of the operation, not only the registration of departure, arrival and the monitoring of their journey, but any type of event that may occur in the process of delivery, in real time. Our customers are very demanding in the operation and through this app, we have managed to improve the attention to them."
"Azure Cognitive Services, with its family of AI-based services and APIs, provides us with foundational capabilities to innovate upon and bring our vision of adding a smart assistant to every step of the consumer and caregiver journey."
"The efficiency with which Microsoft could share the technology was impressive, because it's one thing for us to say, ‘Take these protocols and run with them,’ but the ability for Microsoft's reach to make that happen very, very quickly was really impressive."
"Microsoft has become the industry standard for image storage in the hospital and research communities. Add to that the prospects of Azure Machine Learning and Azure Cognitive Services, and you’ve got a game-changing proposition."
“There’s value in building on the solid foundations and strong business fundamentals that Microsoft delivers for rapidly growing technology companies like ours.”
“Microsoft holds the leading position in training language models. Naturally, we wanted to work with the top technology for this project.”
“These models will also be based on Microsoft solutions.”
"Azure offered us a full-service catalog, with everything from Azure Form Recognizer to simple data stores and integration technologies. It’s been our one-stop shop."
"I regard the Water-cooler app as the practical combination of digital collaboration and behavioral insights built on Microsoft 365 technologies—creating a solution that helps connect people and enhances culture digitally while embracing virtual and hybrid ways of working."
"My biggest hope is that we’ve backed ourselves into a revolution. I can have a virtual watercooler moment with anyone on the planet with the Watercooler app in Microsoft Teams, whether we have physical proximity or not. I think that’s a big deal."
“That’s why we rolled out Azure AD during the initial implementation. We wanted to secure how members interact with the new portal and also use a single sign-on solution to secure other web assets that are accessible to external users.”
“I envisioned CPSO as an end-to-end Microsoft shop with one platform that we could build on top of.”
"After we moved to the Azure cloud platform, we saw our customer base start to expand—from 5 customers per month, by up to 50 customers per month."
