"Using HoloLens and VisualLive has given us a competitive advantage in the construction industry. The clients can see what's being constructed prior to the physical elements being up in the air, and it gives them a level of confidence in the end product that they don't traditionally have."
"We knew that conventional technology wouldn’t work; we needed a scalable technology to take our ideas across multiple platforms and systems. Our systems, based on Azure technologies, open up a whole new set of doors for us."
“While some customers embrace the cloud, other customers can be more hesitant without proper education about the cloud-computing model. Being part of the Microsoft partner community and working with the Microsoft Azure Incubation sales team to help educate customers on the benefits of cloud computing has a tremendous influence on our ability to tap into new markets.”
“The playgrounds give people who’ve participated in the training—or even just heard about the cloud and have had some experience at home—the ability to get hands-on Azure experience.”
"With Azure, it's very easy to scale up and to add more capacity at will—and to do it quickly. That's a big piece of why we chose to run our SAP systems on Azure."
"For the FinTech start-up it’s very important not to take on too many costs in the beginning. That’s why we appreciate the approach we see with Azure: it’s so easy and cheap to start. Our goal is to reach 15 million customers 5 years from now and we believe we can achieve this with Microsoft."
"Microsoft Azure has also addressed our security, compliance and regulatory requirements so we can run a global business with our engineering team in one country."
“The great thing about Azure is that Microsoft does look at the whole application stack. It’s not just about building a service and standing it up. In Azure, that end-to-end tooling spans the whole development lifecycle from design right the way through to production and operationalisation. It’s one of my key design principles and main reasons for choosing Azure.”
"Azure Event Hubs is valuable to us because we can send data to two places, make sure a new dataset is running perfectly, then flip the switch to move it over without disrupting the service."
"Using Azure Reserved Virtual Machine Instances makes a big difference to us, both in cost and flexibility. It gives us a baseline of compute power with elasticity to handle peak usage."
"This platform will enable us to transform from experience-based and intuitive decision-making, to data-based decision-making."
"It’s the speed of the changes in digitalization that makes what we have done unique. And how it has impacted our aspirations as a company. It’s not just about improving efficiency; it’s about changing the entire business concept."
"We’re very proud to offer world-class service to residents and citizens in Westminster. By providing best of breed technology to our workforce, we’re much more open and accessible to the people we serve. Microsoft absolutely helps to underpin that transformation."
"Everybody asks me how is it possible for a tiny agency from a very small, isolated country to do business all around the world? I always reply that there's no end to the possibilities. If you think it's possible, then you can do it."
"I can't stress enough how valuable Teams has been for us, like the ability to chat instantly with people on the other side of the world. The other day at 11:00 PM my time, I needed to talk with one of my leads in Namibia. I saw that one of them was online; boom, we were able to collaborate on the fly. In the past, we wouldn't know who was available, so chatting was not as simple."
