Read on to discover the six key lessons learned from manufacturers rethinking their operations for AI and how Microsoft is supporting the factory of the future with Azure’s adaptive cloud approach.
In my last blog post on IoT for automakers, I talked about the huge transformation happening based on our digitally-connected world and consumers’ changing buying behaviors. This same trend is true in the high-tech & electronics segment, probably more than any other B2C segment
The Latin America marketing team for Microsoft Office implemented a dynamic dashboard solution to visualize sales performance from a variety of perspectives. Built on Microsoft Visio Professional 2013, the solution combines data from multiple sources and publishes visualizations of it through Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013.
I was fortunate to be invited by one of our customers to discuss what it means to enable great auto buying experiences while walking around – and climbing over – the new structure for a brand new auto dealership property being constructed here in Seattle.
Last month, I talked about the Internet of Things (IoT) and the four key areas where IoT can unlock the most business value and new revenue growth opportunities for manufacturers.
Learning from our manufacturing customers is one of the highlights of my work here at Microsoft. They are on the front lines, taking the latest insights, ideas, and technology and creating amazing solutions that drive customer value. Recently we shared two such customer stories on an interactive webcast where we discussed how the power of Microsoft Azure and the Internet of Things (IoT) are advancing manufacturing businesses.
With an always-on connection, consumer expectations have drastically changed when it comes to their vehicle—from their shopping and ownership experiences to the very essence of the automobile as it becomes an extension to their digitally-connected lifestyle.
Designing for customers’ needs has always been a priority for product-driven enterprises, but it’s much easier said than done, and especially so in today’s digitally-connected world. Customers have more information, more options, and evolving behaviors about what they buy—and how. Consumers expect innovative solutions rather than just clever or well-designed products.
We all know that competition in the automotive industry is fierce. By our research, around two-thirds of car buying activities is happening online before anyone puts a foot inside a dealership showroom.
In our mobile-first, cloud-first world we are always connected, always “on.” The pace of business is faster than ever before—and accelerating.
Forward-thinking manufacturers are transforming their businesses. At the center of their quest is data. Why? The business opportunities of big data are big!
As worldwide demand for cloud computing continues to rise, Microsoft is investing to meet this demand. At a recent event in San Francisco, our CEO Satya Nadella outlined how Microsoft is using Microsoft Azure, Office 365 and Microsoft Dynamics to deliver the most complete cloud for every business, industry and geography.
A complex manufacturing revolution is happening today. “Can systems for the Internet of Things (IoT) be simple?” is a question that I often get. Let’s think through it…
