"We’ve found that using the In-Memory OLTP feature in SQL Server 2017 dramatically reduces our database processing times—from eight hours to 40 minutes in one instance."
"We need to be able to mobilize very swiftly, especially when we're entering new markets. It's important that we have a modular operating model so that we can bring multidisciplinary teams together in a shared ecosystem of data assets and data products that spans the organization."
"The cloud is essential – it’s a fundamental piece of our strategy and our platform as we move away from what was essentially home-grown legacy systems and position ourselves for continuous innovation."
“Imagine this dream scenario. You go to work on Monday, and you already have all the data you need in one place. You gather client insights, and with one click, you send them to the buyer. That’s transformational.”
“We’ve always been ‘data rich’ as a company, but the way in which we used data to uncover meaningful insights was a manual and slow process. The massive amounts of data we receive every day from multiple sources can be a competitive advantage, but only if we improve the speed for using that data to impact the business.”
“We've done a lot of work replacing old manual processes to make sure we're capturing the right data in Dynamics 365 and that it’s presenting in the right way using Power BI."
“Power BI gives us visibility of parts."
"Before, the process of manually encoding responses to open-ended questions from seven million paper responses was done nine months after the forms were filled. Now, encoding is done paperless and in two hours, thanks to machine learning technology and cloud solutions."
"With Dynamics 365, we have a more organized way of forecasting our opportunities and the production pipeline."
"The fact that we can build everything from lead to cash on Dynamics 365 is a huge win for us."
“Dynamics 365 CRM automated the reporting of sales and lead generation, improved communication, and provided valuable dashboards for analyzing and reporting sales data, Because CooperSurgical has teams distributed all around the world, it’s critical that they all have access to information about customer needs. “Having global technologies allows us to roll out best practices, And the 360-degree view of customers makes it easier for different teams to collaboratively support the same customers.”
“With Azure Synapse Analytics and Power BI, our daily data refresh was probably about 75 percent faster, down to 3 hours from a 12-hour overall run time, which improves our capability to provide actionable insights for both clinical and operational decisions.”
"The biggest savings, which we haven’t been able to quantify, is the time saved across the organization after automating so much manual work, reconciliation work, and firefighting work."
“Data accuracy and timeliness are direct benefits of our ERP system on Dynamics 365. Another benefit is the process improvement—the global team can now accurately and efficiently follow standardized business processes across the end-to-end CRO project cycle.”
“Now, we’re doing it in near real time with Power BI.”
