"Microsoft feels the passion. It believes in what we’re trying to do."
“When selling or leasing an engine, it’s not uncommon to run into an inability to properly account for a part’s history. Any part that we can’t certify must be replaced, which equates to last-minute discounts in the millions of dollars—just because there isn’t reliable data.”
"It’s been a game changer for us to benefit from the continuous innovation the platform offers without having to maintain the overhead of managing those innovations.”
“Previously, we used a hybrid solution, which was managed at an excessive cost,” shares Naude. “With the Exergy suite, we already realized significant savings, but more importantly, opened up multiple new opportunities within the digital world for the future.”
“We chose a Microsoft-based solution as it allowed us to keep costs to a reasonable level and safeguard our system for the future. We pushed the functionality of the tools to the limit to achieve the complexities of the brief and Valto using Microsoft technology always found a way to equip the tools and make them work for us."
"Correctly identifying a fault helps us prevent losses ranging from US$20,000 to hundreds of thousands of dollars."
“Using Power BI for management and operational reporting, our directors and team members can have productive discussions and decide how best to run daily operations."
"Microsoft's solutions offer scalability because they are available globally. Implementing a global template allows various partners to understand their roles and responsibilities to ensure customer success."
"If the ledger is from Microsoft, you are entering into an environment of familiarity with a quick learning curve. It’s not just scalable, it’s also easily accessible."
“With Semantic Link, we can take what someone is looking at in Power BI and send information elsewhere and do additional calculations and actions, using Python for example, which uses Azure Synapse Analytics or Azure Databricks to create additional workflows. That means a linear supply chain can now become circular and therefore faster and more robust, providing greater transparency, quality, and clarity through enhanced data capabilities.”
"Using Power BI helps me strategically organize my department. Not only do I have data available, but the tool also helps me use AI to quickly analyze that data and distribute resources more effectively."
“But with Power BI and our Fireworks project, we’ve standardized and simplified the process. All the developers who focused on data analysis in the past now focus on other things.”
“Along with cost savings, we measure and show how much carbon each application uses, and we try to translate that expenditure into something our people can understand, like charging a phone or taking a flight."
“Digitalisation is really important to the EA. It’s about the data we hold and how we then enable access to that data. But it’s also about simplifying the user experience – which is important for those we regulate and how we engage with our communities.”
“We wanted to consolidate our technology stack. The general move in DEFRA to use Power Platform fits really well into that approach. We can build configuration-driven applications, be more efficient and help the business move faster with changes in regulation.”
