"The National Flood Interoperability Experiment used Microsoft Azure to explore ways in which the nation’s citizens can become safer, more secure, and better able to withstand the effects of flooding."
"Cloud–native’ must provide tangible results. Azure Spring Cloud helps by taking away the implementation and management effort, so we can focus on our core competencies."
"[Reflex users] would be the first to tell you that, yes, going to a single account to be able to sign on and manage this, having the flexibility of tying this into a non-traditional AD kind of architecture, has been a big win for them."
"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."
“Azure allows us to do a lot of things quickly, and it also allows us to back out of things quickly as well, which is equally important in software development, where it is advantageous to ‘fail fast.’ As we develop, we can bring up environments, and we can tear them down very quickly, in a matter of hours as opposed to weeks or months in more traditional environments.”
"The interoperability of Microsoft server, desktop, and cloud technologies makes it easy for us to scale up standard solutions to work in our 21 factories around the world."
