"We want to make investments that support our core business, and buying and managing servers is not our core business. In fact, we have what we call a DOS strategy—‘don’t own stuff."
“We’ve always been very advanced in manufacturing technology but slower moving in IT operations. In 2013, we still used Lotus Notes for email and had a fragmented desktop environment. With 7,000 of our wired employees spread across multiple locations on six continents and some 60 manufacturing facilities, we sorely needed more empowering communications and collaboration technology. We wanted our employees to share ideas and improvements more frequently and very easily.”
“When focusing on past successes and reliability for video transmissions, it came down to a decision between Azure and AWS. Ultimately, there were several reasons we chose Azure, but there were two points on which I placed the most importance. One was that Microsoft provided flexible service. When we consulted with them directly, not only were we able to obtain the newest information from the United States, but they would escalate our company’s requests to the head office. The other was that I sensed their energy towards Azure, demonstrated by how their talk was strongly peppered with keywords like ‘cloud first’ and ‘mobile first,’”

"The low-code app development space that Power Apps provides is both empowering and enjoyable. I love learning, and because Power Apps opened up the world of coding to me, I’ve since gone on to train myself on Microsoft Azure, Power Automate, Power BI, JavaScript, Node.js, React, and SQL."
"Using Microsoft Azure enables us to implement our own ideas in a variety of ways and completely rethink weighing—our traditional core area of expertise."
"Bizerba recognized the importance of data and software for process optimization early on—our Smart Shelf application based on the Azure cloud platform is testimony to that."
"We are transforming ourselves from a manufacturer of weighing scales into a provider of digital solutions for our customers."
"Thanks to Azure, Teams, and Microsoft 365, every single new team member was able to access all organizational resources right away. It was a seamless experience."
"We chose Azure because we were confident in its security and compliance features, and we trust the expertise of Microsoft as a cloud provider."
"Our heat pumps are considerably more energy efficient than conventional systems—thanks to our IoT solution based on Microsoft Azure, our customers can use an app to see proof of this in real time."
"Our IoT solution is now on a solid and manageable footing for the digitalization of our heat pumps and home ventilation units. With the help of Azure, what we’ve achieved in just three and a half months is nothing short of amazing."
“The user-friendliness and inter-connectivity of the Microsoft platform was backed up by Cegeka’s trustworthiness and professionalism. Both were the clear choice in supporting our solution.”
