"When we asked companies how they might help us with our digital transformation, Microsoft offered a holistic vision and roadmap that covered the broadest range of technologies and expertise as well as cross-industry experience."
"Microsoft 365 and Teams play a critical role in enabling our workplace vision where employees have the tools they need to work more efficiently on behalf of our customers—without having to get IT involved. Whether it’s connecting from different devices with a unified calling solution, sharing documents, co-authoring files, hosting video meetings, streamlining workflows, creating apps in Microsoft Power Platform—Teams is a platform where everything happens."
“None of our systems talked to each other, and we relied on human intervention. Data was scattered across multiple platforms—and there was no holistic status view of our data.”
"The benefit of moving to a tabular model is the speed and flexibility we have been able to incorporate in leveraging critical information."
"Thanks to Microsoft support and its unified platform, we can evolve and integrate additional modules to meet the needs of our organization in the future.”
“Farmacity is going through a paradigm shift in regard to project approach, with interdisciplinary teams employing Agile methodologies and frameworks with which we were not familiar. The methodologies that were typically used mostly by IT teams are now being adopted in other areas, with times, stories, sprints, releases, and shared views.”
"We used to have 1,000 SSRS reports. Now we have one standard report, which can be sent to everyone. We use row-level security so when a customer signs in they only see their data. Our board absolutely loves Power BI!"
"We use Microsoft Project for faster, better decision making, at 10 percent greater overall project management efficiency. With the previous tool, we couldn’t have delivered the current £100 million in capital projects. Our project teams deliver larger, more complex infrastructure projects now that we have the right tool—Project."
"Microsoft Project is brilliant for reporting. In fact, we’ve changed the format for project board meetings, viewing data from Microsoft Project in real time. Now, rather than questioning the accuracy of data and moving it from one system to the other, we confidently focus on using it productively."
"With Microsoft Project, project and program managers focus on analyzing rather than handling data, making more informed decisions. Conservatively speaking, we’ve removed a week of non-productive time per month for the PMO, which means 25 percent more efficiency in our people."
"I envision a full SAIB digital transformation strategy anchored in state-of-the-art data visualization, analytical and predictive behavior analysis, and with Microsoft as a trusted partner on this journey."
“In creating the dashboard, we solidified our requirements while interviewing the company’s User Division, and Power BI not only makes it easy to connect data, it supports very flexible creation of the UI as well, for something that is close to the needs of the user. In fact, users have reported that since the release of our services, our staff and the chain store staff can now consult with each other while looking at the dashboard. Because you can see the data dynamically, the insight obtained here is also much more significant.”
“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.”
“Before we had dashboards, we had to collect the data manually, on paper or with Excel files, and perform the calculations. It took us so long. Now, our dashboards are updated daily, and we don’t have to waste time summarizing data. The dashboard does it for us.”
"Thanks to the dashboards and the data visualized with Power BI, we can better identify problems, understand their origin, and thus find adequate solutions."
