"People are afraid of data. They’re afraid that it’ll be used against them, so the key is to make it non-threatening. We built a system that allows a teacher to acknowledge their strengths and weaknesses. If you can help teachers become high performers, then you help students."

"Supervisors use data stored in Azure to determine work-load, staffing and how much utilisation they are getting from the equipment in their cell."

"The addition of In-Memory OLTP tables and native-compiled stored procedures to one SQL Database immediately reduced our DTU consumption by 70 percent and allowed us to support rapid growth without investing significant effort."

“I teach chemistry, and it involves using a lot of subscripts and superscripts. Digital inking all of that is much easier than typing. I render my lessons on OneNote. Drawing scientific diagrams, annotations, shapes, and even arrows that show where electrons move makes it visual for students. I use the pen with PowerPoint to just click through slides from any part of the classroom. It seems so simple, but it makes teaching that much easier and more fluid.”

“There’s also the idea of OneNote and a Surface pen versus a white board. If you’re dealing with a series of numerical problems in your Mathematics class, you’re able to do that directly in OneNote while working with a small group or an individual student, or even moving around the classroom. Students can revisit those notes afterwards if there’s some homework, prep work, or study to do. They can even use the ink replay function, which has been so great. They see each stroke put in OneNote and see how a particular problem was solved one step at a time,” he explains.

"Azure Active Directory has facilitated everything that we do with Office 365. We’re using the framework of Azure, but I think we’re really just touching the surface of what digital transformation can do for us."

“Our business has been built on the Microsoft Azure platform―and the way that we leverage and use it is critical.”

"Before we began using Azure, staff estimated that our overloaded render farm was the primary contributor to overtime. Today, we’re 80 percent more efficient on rendering and have reduced overtime by almost 90 percent."

"We’re reliably delivering projects on time and producing the high caliber of creative work that clients are proud to include in their productions. Even as project scope and complexity increase across the industry, having the powerful Azure platform in our arsenal ensures we can keep pace."

"Technology used to be a hindrance. Today, if our artists need 50,000 hours to render, we expect to be able to deliver 50,000 hours. We can scale storage, compute, workstations, all nearly instantly and without limits in Azure."

"Azure Marketplace is at the foundation of our sales, marketing, and distribution, and we are confident it will drive visibility into our business and boost our bottom line."

"Our number one goal was to solve our customers’ business problem, which we achieved with Azure Cognitive Search by building the fast, richer content experience that their customers want."

"With Azure Cognitive Search, we get smart results that add value. It doesn’t just search words—it searches meaning and customer intention."

"The biggest advantage for us when we moved to Azure was that single pane of glass, the ability to see end to end what’s happening, was extremely powerful for us."

“The Azure Data Lake is the foundation on which we can build and deploy machine learning, deep learning, optimization, and advanced analytics applications much more quickly. Because we don’t have to wrangle with the data.”
