"When we shifted from our original system to Microsoft 365 and other Microsoft services, our teams really appreciated the change. Now, our people can travel to meet clients and still use all the services they need from their smartphones."
"The team of Happiest Minds supported us in developing an IoT and cloud-based platform to get real-time data on the health of properties and achieve net zero goals. The platform was built using LoRaWAN gateways, TTI, Azure IoT Hub, Azure SQL and Power BI to bring data from an integrated ecosystem of IoT sensors and other data sources to support evidence-based decision-making within the built environment."
“It sure helped that we had done the work to get all of our data organized, engineered, and migrated into the Microsoft Azure Data Lake Analytics platform—and pulled in using Microsoft Power BI, in some instances.”
“With Power BI, users can work with whatever device they choose, whether it’s a tablet, smartphone, or desktop computer, At the same time, we have row-level security and tight control over data access.”
"With KOHLER Konnect, we will be connected to our products all the time so that we can learn homeowners’ preferences and even get to the point where we can predict their needs."
“In China, Kohler is a high-end brand. Kohler products were installed across venues at the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing and grace some of the country’s most exclusive hotels and high-rise buildings. Kohler has become an important symbol of the pursuit of the perfect life for Chinese consumers. People in China are excited about these kinds of innovations, which is why a big part of our IoT engineering team is here.”
“Our goal is to be the best-loved brand by our employees.As one of the United Kingdom’s fastest-growing networks, we’re making great progress. But to remain agile and competitive, we needed to make significant changes to our business, including rebuilding our entire IT infrastructure.”
“It’s critical that our remote employees join the conversation so nothing slows us down. People are setting up virtual water cooler–type chat channels for employees who don’t get to meet face-to-face. And they use more product-specific chat channels to dive deeper into projects and deliverables.”
“As the overall accountable leader for my team, it’s really important that I have visibility into progress without it being a burden to keep me in the loop. We are delivering on agreed outcomes thanks to the transparency on work progress that my leadership team and I gain with Teams and Planner.”
“As a large service provider, this was a new approach for us, working with a smaller, more agile development company to increase our speed for providing new solutions. We like that daenet has a close relationship with the Microsoft development community, and that it collaborates with the University of Applied Sciences in Frankfurt in using emerging technologies.”
"I knew at the beginning that getting everyone ready to take full advantage of the new features would be the hardest thing. And it was clear that the Microsoft deployment itself would be the easiest part."
"We built about 90 percent of the solution without IT help. Cortana Intelligence Suite has been really easy to get in place. It has great documentation, we were able to structure the data warehouse quickly, and it integrates seamlessly with Power BI. The learning curve is almost nonexistent."
"We chose .NET Core because it’s the modern platform from Microsoft that we believe will also survive for decades. And because it’s open source and cross-platform, we can support Windows and non-Windows environments like Linux or iOS."
"Customer service is a big driver of loyalty. If we’re able to provide a good customer experience, that will drive more continued business for HP."
"HP is reinventing the support experience by empowering our customers to easily solve a broad range of issues on their own. The advanced artificial intelligence capabilities from Microsoft enable HP Customer Service to deliver and manage these self-service solutions efficiently and with more precision."
