"From the development perspective, everyone loves the unlimited capabilities. We’ve done stuff with Python and Scala. We created Microsoft Azure Logic Apps. We’ve written custom cloud APIs. In the on-premises world, we had to get approval and involve an infrastructure person to experiment with anything. Now, the options are just limitless."
"The ease of integration we have experienced with Azure proves Microsoft has a genuine commitment to open source."
"Along with solutions like Intune for our end user devices management, and Azure Firewall and Azure Web Application Firewall for common exploit attempts, we have adopted a comprehensive Microsoft security ecosystem that we depend on. In comparison to a proprietary security framework, standalone virus protection, and on-premises firewalls, the difference is like night and day."
"There is a lot of value in having elastic infrastructure, to be able to scale out the math that you need to do to predict things about your business and Azure is the perfect place to do that."
"Our belief is that AI, machine learning and the new software that we have developed with that is going to completely change the way that retailers can actually grow their business."
"Our customers and the apps they use are diverse… We need a single platform that can handle anything and scale across the organization. Windows 10 IoT Enterprise with Azure IoT Suite meets those requirements."
"Running Windows 10 IoT Enterprise makes the ChecOut M device unique, because it has the same processing power as Microsoft Surface products. That means businesses can run really robust applications and integrate into lots of big back-end systems through Azure."
"We can talk about things like technology infrastructure and mobility, but there’s another major component. We’re enabling staff to once again have a deeper, more personal engagement with end use customers."
"Imagine a holiday period like Black Friday, when lines typically get insane. The ChecOut M device with Windows 10 IoT can scan tags and barcodes in a fraction of a second. In the industry, that’s called line-busting because you can take and close out an order from anywhere in the store."
"It’s simple for us to deliver products that handle like PCs. With Windows 10 IoT Core, customers can easily install applications on our hardware without needing to know anything about the device itself. They can just focus on developing their own software."
“We now have all we need in one portal—I sign in and manage everything from one place. I can track and control what I need to meet GDPR standards and implement IT policies across the company in minutes.”
"The marketplace for J.B. Hunt 360 represents our vision of helping carriers and shippers thrive in a digital market, and Azure has helped with that. We’re just getting started—there’s great potential on the horizon."
"It was super easy to build up Kubernetes clusters in Azure Container Service, and tying things together with Java/Jenkins and Team Foundation Server was straightforward and quick."
"Azure gives us the ability to improve the analysis of the risks of change resulting from climate change to a new level."
"Our experts started to develop statistical models for analysis 20 years ago. These analyses were already sophisticated 15 years ago."
