3854 Microsoft Azure Testimonials

“Microsoft supported us by enhancing the Office 365 platform—which was already used in some faculties—and providing us with the Azure cloud. This enabled our team, composed of the best undergraduate and PhD students from three faculties (architecture, engineering, and sociology), to communicate effectively and efficiently throughout the entire project. The team implemented advanced technical solutions, thanks to scientific calculations that would have otherwise not been possible without the cloud.”

“Bringing Microsoft in to work directly with our joint business and technology product teams demonstrates how the depth of our relationships with vendors can create an advantage in our strategic efforts.”

"German manufacturers are famous for best-in-class machines, but products alone won’t cut it in the future. Using our Industrial AutoML solution and Azure, we’re helping them offer new data-driven services and create more value for their customers."

"Using Microsoft Azure helps our business by allowing us access to near-real-time site data from a variety of devices."

"CEOs and CIOs may have predictive modeling high on their priority lists, but it’s hard to find the talent or solution that is going to fit their specific needs."

“Amazon Web Services is relatively complex to use. You cannot just turn it on and it runs. There is quite a bit of setup and configuration required. Also, maintaining code with PHP was too difficult in terms of using it as the language over a long period. It does not lend itself to concise, easily maintainable code.”

"We wanted to launch a compelling new product that would not only address current industry needs, but could really help propel the industry forward as it comes out of the recession."

"Microsoft Azure eliminates the need for us to manage IT infrastructure, allowing us to focus on developing software that brings great new functionality and benefits to our customers."

“This is especially true in China, where people are spending a lot more money when it comes to both personal and business travel. In the past few years, there has been an industry growth rate of about 20 percent—much faster than [China’s] GDP growth.”

“We created a solution that not only can be used across multiple platforms, like smartphones, tablets, and workstations, but also is easy for new employees to quickly begin using. We have been able to cut the amount of time it takes to train employees from an average of three to six weeks in the past to about three hours now.”

"It takes two to four weeks to size new computers, obtain a purchase order, receive the computers at our hosting provider, deploy images, join the computers to the network, and put them into production."

"We’ve used Azure to change the culture at Hearst. We’re getting people to look ahead and see IT as an enabler, not a barrier."

"Microsoft Azure provided us a level of functionality that simply wasn’t available on any other cloud platform."

"One reason that we chose Microsoft Azure was that we can focus on the value that we add to the process, not on the infrastructure."

"Everything is moving on to the cloud, and using a service that provides servers around the world is helpful when you’re running a program that is viewed by so many people internationally."
