1855 Microsoft Power BI Testimonials

"Using Power BI, we can bring data together in dashboards that we can quickly put in front of clients. In fact, we can do things in half an hour that might have taken days in the past."

"The first process was a staff update, we structured it so that everyone could consume from the same database. This added value, each user was responsible for a small area, and the manager had a view of everything."

“Having end-to-end Microsoft is better for my team. It’s one set of training, one set of support. We can focus on one technology and not have our focus spread. End to end, we are delivering data. Now, it’s about innovation: more countries, more advanced machine learning models, more data sets. We’re working purely on innovation and our core platform is built on Microsoft technology.”

“We now can experiment with our data, making exciting discoveries while being highly innovative. With help from Microsoft, we’ve achieved all this in just a short period."

"Essentially, I’m supporting the CEO with the same reporting that I use to support first-line managers. There is no disparity in the depth of those analytics for either level, and that also means that there’s only one version of the truth."

"Now, we are getting aggregated, actionable insights from all this rich data through one central repository."

"We use the CityPoints smart-city service to directly engage our citizens and visitors, and then help them connect with our city life and the services we offer."

"We don’t want to have rooms full of business analysts processing and reviewing the data, so we use Microsoft and TimeXtender solutions to provide our employees and customers with the right data at the right time and in the right place."

"Now we have a single consolidated source of truth that everyone uses, and we can increasingly automate our analysis for a deeper dive into the intricacies of the data."

"Our employees depend on having the latest data available to do their jobs, and now we’re able to get them that data more quickly. And because our processes run faster now, we can do them more frequently—instead of just running a single data load early in the morning, we run another load in the middle of the day to update logistics data on parts and service sales along with inventory transactions and stock levels.”

“We process a lot of high-performance compute jobs, where our software scales to hundreds or thousands of cores. Doing that on-premises was becoming limiting and expensive. We had to procure massive amounts of compute and storage to handle our peak loads but, in reality, only used those resources 20 to 30 percent of the time.”

"With Project Online, managers focus more on managing their projects than reporting on them. Communication among managers and executives is faster and more efficient as well."

"Once in a while, we receive positive feedback about how we’ve transformed a job—and the lives of the people who do it—from difficult to straightforward. That’s a great feeling. It’s what digital transformation is all about."

“We also use a lot of services that Microsoft provides, including a planner that comes with Office 365 and Power BI, to enhance our activity reporting. Reporting is now live. We’ve changed our way of working. We can now see problems coming in real time.”

“We’ve built an intelligent dashboard that shows a global summary of environmental compliance statistics from our manufacturing sites. We have Stream Analytics running continuously, looking at signals that could indicate that we’re reaching a critical level for any environmental parameter. With Stream Analytics, we get an early alert that there might be a problem in one of our sites so we can address it immediately.”
