"Azure Virtual Desktop has brought us a step closer to our vision of workplace democratization and remote, flexible work. In this way, we’ve laid the foundation on which to build our future."
"I can take a four-thousand-unit pipeline and quickly drill down and focus on the status of 200 specific units: where they originated and where they are within their lifecycle, for each regional center. It’s great to know that now I can ensure these loans are right on track."
“Much of the external data that we need, such as social data, has a greater volume than the POS data. Without a scalable platform, we cannot push forward with predicting future trends. Considering the cost, we should have continued using an on-premises environment until 2019. However, because the market is constantly changing, we wanted to start our efforts as soon as possible. When we last updated the environment, we decided that it was too early in terms of security, but as technology has evolved, public clouds now have reliability that parallels that of on-premises systems. Therefore, we decided to start immediately and migrate the system.”
"You see those numbers … it’s just a driving force for me to try to get it better."
"The way Power BI brings together information in Azure Data Warehouse into one insightful, visually engaging experience is better than anything manual methods could ever do."
"Because we have multiple brands, we get a lot of the same requests for data. There’s also a lot of back and forth with one request, because there might be four or five iterations before they see the story they want to tell.”
"We realized that if we used Power BI Embedded, we wouldn’t have to invest in building from scratch, which saved us a tremendous amount of time and effort."
“We’ve made Power BI Embedded an anchor to our sale cycles. It’s a friendlier way to introduce companies to the power of prescriptive analytics, and it’s been highly effective for connecting to customers and closing our deals.”
“Microsoft was very attractive to us from the beginning. It’s a big incentive for us to have a corporate tool for data discovery and analytics that works so well with Excel.”
"Power BI is a pragmatic, impressive approach to business enablement. The convergence of technologies in the platform—including natural-language processing, cloud architecture, and an integrated productivity suite with Office 365—puts deep analytical capabilities in users’ hands in a very accessible way.”
"Power BI is highly flexible. We can do a lot more than we ever could before not only in terms of visualization, but also in terms of supporting reports from multiple data sets.”
"Now, our customers don’t need to rely on a PhD or data scientist in order to run optimization scenarios or analyze the results. Thanks to Azure and Power BI Embedded, they have a familiar, interactive, and highly detailed user experience to see the ‘why and how’ of every optimization run."
“The ability to ask any question you like and then see data immediately returned leads to more-informed conversations. Power Q&A will change the way the whole organization thinks and interacts.”
"The Microsoft Azure platform makes it a lot easier for us to deliver on our vision without getting stuck on the individual IT components. We can focus on our end solution and delivering real value to customers rather than on managing the infrastructure."
"There’s no lack of data in our market today. and many existing systems struggle to filter the signal from the noise. Our goal is not data for the sake of data, but to embrace the cloud and analytical technologies to deliver more expert insights to the right stakeholders at the right time."
