"The Millennial generation is our largest, fastest-growing audience segment, and 84 percent of their visits are on mobile devices. With the Cortana Intelligence Suite, we have the ability to drive a much more mobile-first experience."
"The first Azure Fundamentals courses we organized for our employees, in summer 2019, were like U2 concerts. We would offer a hundred seats and they would be sold out in a minute."
"After the second hands-on trial and skill transfer, we actually started DB construction on Azure from the end of October 2019. Zeal provided technical support using Microsoft Teams and other tools, but we basically constructed the system by ourselves and finished it at the end of November."
“We wanted to spend our time on solving our customers’ problems, not managing infrastructure. We wanted to make it easy for our customers to get the most value. We initially considered hosting the servers ourselves, but capacity planning would have been a nightmare.”
"By using Storage Spaces Direct in Windows Server 2016, we were able to create a turnkey storage solution that meets the needs of our customers and helps us be more successful. That’s a double win for us."
"Storage Spaces Direct has two very appealing features. It removes the management burden of traditional storage, which requires an expensive, specialized engineer, and it makes capacity management so easy that a two-year-old can do it."
"Our clients now have a reliable, robust and stable option from a recognizable name with a good reputation that integrates easily within the other services they use. For many of our clients, that’s critical."
"Power BI allows us to provide physicians with interactive data they can use to assess their own performance and utilization profiles within their respective departments."
"Power BI allows for real-time development, testing, and deployment with a single developer and end user in a sit-down meeting. Modifications can be live within minutes."
"Once our Customer Insights solution is fully operational and broadly deployed, we should be able to sell at least one extra meal and a drink per pub per day. That’s a conservative estimate, but it means another £7.7 million added to our bottom line each year."
"We don’t have to spend time researching new technologies when we know that Microsoft is developing advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies and making them available at affordable prices. It’s like we have a billion-dollar R&D department."
"On the performance side, it took approximately 4 months of effort. Microsoft helped us in many ways, from understanding the memory profile, to the log files, and more. We would conduct our tests, share our results, they would give feedback, and then we would try something. This iterative process continued for 4 months."
"We went to the Microsoft technology center, and did some white boarding along with their architects. They reviewed our thought process and gave some inputs as well, so the entire process was highly collaborative."
“Azure Marketplace is a fantastic platform to give people hands-on access to our software. It enables them to trial our product in a trusted environment - regardless of operating system, device or platform.”
"When you think of what our devices do, they actually create that data. Azure enables that data to flow, to be stored, be analyzed, and be delivered to exactly the point where they can drive optimal decisions. So in aggregate, what you’re talking about is a step change in the efficiency and the effectiveness of care delivery across the health industry globally."
