It was great to connect with so many of you in person and virtually at Ignite<\/a>, Microsoft\u2019s annual gathering of developers and IT professionals. While attendees acknowledged the business impact of current macroeconomic challenges, they remain committed to maximizing the value of their digital investments by generating economies of scale with the Microsoft Cloud. Doing more with less is more important than ever as organizations are navigating uncertainty and shaping the future. Cloud-powered technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and machine learning, offer organizations unparalleled agility and efficiency, accelerate innovation, and make security comprehensive while driving growth and advancing sustainability commitments.<\/p>\n

At Ignite, we showed how organizations help people use digital capabilities to enhance their personal and professional lives: The German carmaker Mercedes-Benz<\/strong><\/a> is simulating and refining its vehicle production processes infinitely in the Microsoft Cloud to make its car production 20% more efficient by 2025. To provide mutual customers with more choice, Cisco<\/strong><\/a> and Microsoft are providing the option to run Microsoft Teams natively on Cisco Room and Desk devices. 3M is offering its Post-It<\/strong><\/a>\u00ae App on the Teams App Store, allowing users to digitize handwritten notes. U.K.-based Haleon<\/strong><\/a> is enabling people who are blind or have low vision to hear the labels of more than 1,500 consumer health products in the U.S. and U.K. with Microsoft Seeing AI. With a reimagined global app running on Azure, the NBA<\/strong><\/a> is providing fans with new personalization features like wall-to-wall content from every NBA game and unprecedented behind-the-scenes access to players and teams. And just last week, Switzerland-based global bank UBS<\/strong><\/a> announced it would move over 50% of its applications to Azure as its primary cloud platform to further drive the modernization of its global technology estate.<\/p>\n

Industry leaders unlock economies of scale with public cloud commitments
<\/strong>The iconic motor racing brand McLaren<\/strong> Automotive<\/strong><\/a> is committed to exceptional customer service and is using Azure for its production and development systems, unlocking cost savings of up to 70% by reserving resources for dedicated use on a one- or three-year basis. Global manufacturer Mars<\/strong><\/a> runs approximately 10,000 cloud flows and 4,000 apps and is using Power Platform to automate processes, including enterprise-wide approvals. Telecommunications company O2 Czech Republic<\/strong><\/a> is reducing the total cost of ownership by 30% for each workload it moves from its on-premises infrastructure to Azure. Taiwan-based manufacturer Inventec<\/strong><\/a> is improving production efficiency with Azure IoT, machine learning and 5G services, saving 50% on deployment time for its AI and auto optical inspection application and 25% on maintenance efforts. With Power BI, Denmark-based GN<\/strong><\/a> has raised the quality of its data by approximately 50% in only three quarters. With its cloud migration journey still underway, Greece-based energy company HELLENIC PETROLEUM Group<\/strong><\/a> has already seen a 30% reduction in IT infrastructure costs after migrating 50% of its workloads to Azure. Bahrain Public Transport Company<\/strong><\/a> is delivering increased punctuality and reliability to its customers while reducing costs by 30% with Azure.<\/p>\n

Organizations reinvent their operations for a greener future
<\/strong>Coca-Cola Hellenic<\/strong><\/a> is embracing the industrial metaverse with HoloLens and Microsoft Mesh to visualize its bottling facilities and gain visibility across production lines. The technology also allows the company to reduce its energy consumption based on insights into the operating status of machines and its carbon dioxide emissions. Equinor<\/strong><\/a> is designing products and simulating their effectiveness before it implements them in the physical world. With Microsoft Energy Data Services and Azure, the Norway-based energy company is breaking down data silos to streamline operations for a low-carbon future. Germany-based energy company E.ON<\/strong><\/a> is accelerating the rollout of sustainable district heating and cooling grids by training its models 50% faster with Azure Data Factory and Azure Machine Learning. Telstra<\/strong><\/a> is looking to help enterprise, government and small business customers in Australia accelerate their sustainability progress and business growth through data insights gained with Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability. Canada-based Ontario Power Generation<\/strong><\/a> is choosing Azure to modernize its applications and IT infrastructure and eventually reduce its carbon footprint by accelerating its cloud migration and transforming business operations.
