"We had to cut the last promotional campaign short because we were growing at a pace that was quicker than what we anticipated. Is that good. Yes—it’s fantastic."
"Through interfaces based on the Umbrellar and Azure Stack infrastructures, clinicians will have easy access to all information, even scans and pathology results that reside in separate systems, in one seamless experience to greatly enhance decision making."
"The transition to Microsoft Azure is about moving from a model based on capital expenditure to a system based on operational expenditure. That’s what a lot of the industry is doing: moving from a ‘we own’ to a ‘we subscribe’ model."
“In April 2019, the work-style reform laws came into operation. In association with overtime work, an overtime cap of 45 hours per month as a rule was introduced for large businesses and in 2020 for small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs). This means that not only large businesses, but also small- to medium-sized businesses will be required to strictly manage attendance. LYSITHEA will be needed more than ever. To make our services available not only in large businesses but also in this sector, we needed to build a more attentive selling system that provides flexibility in scale.”
”Honestly, I was suspicious about cloud services. Human resources management handles very sensitive information. Attendance management requires company-specific peculiarity. For such areas, are cloud services really reliable? Do cloud services draw out the strengths of LYSITHEA? I was not sure about cloud services. Recently, however, clients have asked if our solutions are available as cloud services. For us, it was really a success to have released secure, reliable services early by using Microsoft Azure and VMware Tanzu Application Service on Azure as the cloud services platform.”
”We have been in partnership with Microsoft for more than 20 year. We have been working together in creating business for enterprises. Our support is characterized by its quick response among others. Questions by email are answered in two hours at the earliest or in 24 hours at the latest. Even in the on-premises days, Microsoft immediately helped us when a technical problem arose.”
”First of all, there was a great trend toward a shift to a service business. To smoothly provide our services like LYSITHEA and work together with our clients in creating service development, we should integrate what can be made uniform and standardized so that we can share them for a higher efficiency. For this reason, we arranged a company-wide uniform platform. We decided to combine Microsoft Azure as an enterprise-grade, highly secure cloud infrastructure with VMware Tanzu Application Service as the application execution platform to build the digital solution creation platform of Hitachi Solutions. To draw out the advantages of the platform, we should ‘lift and shift’ onto a cloud-native environment and have know-how for developing cloud-native applications.”
We have taken a further step in our transparency. It was the first time that the Red Cross management and any interested person had the information at the same time. Every day, first thing in the morning, the data of our response actions to the COVID-19 could be consulted in a very easy, attractive and intuitive way by our associates and the citizens in general. This was our goal and Microsoft has helped us achieve it."
"We’re building a voice service for all our diverse audiences. Azure gives us the opportunity to deliver what we see is the future of content."
"Using the services from Microsoft allows us to generate a very flexible platform approach that reduces the amount of customization we have to do to make our system more accessible in other ecosystems."
"From a technical point of view, the project has been very gratifying because, in addition to giving us the possibility of collaborating in a solidarity initiative in the face of this health crisis, it has allowed us to develop all the technological potential of our digital health ecosystem much more. In record time, a new mobile application has been brought to market, thanks to the fact that our servers are hosted on platforms such as Microsoft Azure, which have made it easier for us to scale and resource them quickly and easily.”
"This experience has validated our ability to launch in a few days variants of our digital health model, allowing us to serve people who do not have any type of insurance with us. From the business perspective, this opens a wide variety of possibilities to offer new health solutions that adapt to the needs of citizens, while promoting a model of digital health in society."
“In Microsoft Azure, we can build a future-proof landscape for our data warehouse that offers us considerably more possibilities than just mapping the status quo.”
“Traditionally, hooking up an SIEM to a datacenter takes months. With Azure Sentinel, hooking up a server only took days, and we were able to see Azure light up within hours.”
“Azure provides the agility to move quickly without worrying about disrupting business operations. We now have potentially unlimited infrastructure, which means we can spin up test environments and validate things which previously we could only do in production.”
