“One big thing we looked for was rationalizing our reports on a particular infrastructure, and because we had already migrated most of our data repositories to Azure, Power BI was our natural selection."
“We had the same information, intended to say the same thing, but several different analyses – which wasn’t truly productive."
“We had really good systems before, but a lot of it was paper-based, and we were trying to get away from that."
“Our ambition is to be the most innovative, customer-centric, inclusive, and sustainable materials science company in the world. Digital tools have helped us drive our competitive advantage and continue to elevate our position in the industry.”
“It’s not about chasing technology. It’s about finding opportunities to change how we work, understanding the value that opportunity could deliver for our businesses, and then selecting the right innovative technology to deliver that value.”
“We had to prove that we could use these technologies in a live production environment and then summarize the outcome so that we could demonstrate value, create a proposed timeline, and actually launch the program."
"We are committed to taking bold steps to make our organization a global leader in health. Microsoft technology is a part of that."
"Microsoft makes life efficient for our volunteers and gives them a better experience."
"The systems give us opportunities to drive growth in partner engagement and resource mobilization more strategically."
“The ripple effect of this adoption of technology is taking us quite far in terms of partnerships and relationships. I’m looking forward to bigger things ahead.”
“My previous work was not related to Azure or AI/ML, but it did share some common grounds with utilization of Microsoft tools, such as Power BI and Power Apps. This was the main reason why I requested to participate in the project. I anticipated great possibilities in data utilization by AI/ML, so I was extremely content when I was appointed as a project member.”
“Mitsui & Co. has been working with Microsoft for a long time and also are fully utilizing tools, such as Microsoft 365, Power BI, and Power Platform. Integrated Digital Strategy Div. has led the promotion of full-scale utilization of Power BI since around 2020, and there are now hundreds of user reports being created/updated every month. As you can see, “data visualization” with tools such as Power BI had been making a progress, but we were just starting to promote in-house data utilization. The timing could not have been better for Microsoft to introduce Data Hack to us."
"Customer Insights and Power BI allow us to be more agile and responsive in meeting the needs of the marketing team. We can come to the table with the data that’s essential for better and faster decision-making."
“We only have one employee in charge of IT for the entire Inspectorate. Within a short time, B2 IT came up with a Power Platform-based solution that wouldn’t need additional resources from our side."
“For inspectors, this meant an additional set of tasks. The question was how to increase the efficiency of our work, and exercise effective control over the implementation of the ZNB, without unnecessary overhead and paperwork."
