"We can't have spreadsheets flowing around the business with different numbers. With Power BI, we have a single-source reporting model that allows associates to drill down into the most relevant details using their preferred method and enables them to manage their part of the Walmart business more effectively."
“Before, pulling a report took two days; today we can do it in two seconds. Now we can make decisions with reliable data quickly, as well as project and forecast closures.”
"We were taking up to an hour to load the crews into a site. With Microsoft Teams tied into the thermal imaging cameras, we’ve reduced that to a fraction of the time. We take input from Microsoft Form and use Power Automate to push that to Teams and Power BI. We then use hashtags to talk about the issues as they get entered into the system. We’re getting the trades onto the job site faster than we have in the past. Any time we can reduce downtime, that’s a bonus."
"By moving to Azure and Power BI, we’re getting better accuracy in our data."
“The solution was already in place: Microsoft Teams. We were pleasantly surprised as to how easy it was to get the senior leadership onto the Teams platform and talking with each other on a regular basis.”
"We knew this was coming. Not COVID-19, but we knew that continuing to run on a plethora of platforms would sink us if anything disastrous happened, because that kind of technical debt doesn’t allow you to move fast. Our goal was to be prepared to move as fast as we possibly could."
"For staff and faculty, Teams was there and ready to go. All we did for our students was to accelerate the plan. Of course, it enabled all these other things to go along with it, but it was really about having a strategic foundation and being able to accelerate."
"When a new product is introduced, I want to evaluate the effectiveness of that product in meeting our goals. This was not just about instructional continuity; this was about academic continuity. The solution could not be ‘just’ average. Everybody was depending on Microsoft Teams as our way of continuing business – both in the classroom and throughout the university community."
"Power BI is one of the reasons we upgraded to Microsoft 365 E5. We wanted to unlock our data and allow our employees quick access to a single source of truth. Before, we had to log a ticket with IT and wait for two weeks to get a report. That’s not good enough today. With Power BI, we automate approximately 90 to 95 percent of our reporting. I see better and better presentations and faster turnaround time as we push reporting capabilities down to the business units. Everyone can work more effectively with on-demand information, slicing and dicing their data to make better decisions, faster."
"The Dynamics 365 solution was a perfect fit for this business transformation project. For us, it really is an application platform that allows us to offer all the services that meet the needs and uses of our employees and customers."
"In the upstream phase, the marketing department sees the part on leads. In the sales administration phase, the teams see the entire customer file to move it forward. In the installation phase, our agencies see the different characteristics of the project to be deployed at the customer's site. And finally, after the project is delivered, our customer service teams can see the customer's entire history to respond to any issues the customer may have encountered."
"Personally, Power BI is a great help to me. Before, each of our customer service employees had their own dashboards, with slightly inconsistent data. Now, this allows us to talk about the same thing with the same figures. In addition to the quality of the reports, it allows us to be more transparent and to make decisions more easily."
"Our employees are scattered all over France and must have a common tool to share the experience they have with their customers. Dynamics 365 was the perfect answer to this objective, since the tool is available online, whether on computer, tablet or mobile."
"This data lets us accurately know how many resources we have, how many we use, and how many projects we can do at once. We’re no longer relying on assumptions. Centralizing all project data through Project Online and using Power BI for data visualization helped us to reduce the time for project research and resource allocation by 60 percent."
“We’ll use Dynamics 365 to provide full transparency across our resource base, so we can see what everyone is doing, determine project profitability, and make adjustments to our services based on that data."
