NBA
Charlie Rohlf, Associate Vice President, Stats Technology Product Development National Basketball Association"We've always been sitting on a lot of data, but we needed Azure and AI to unlock its potential and find the interesting nuggets in those billions of data points."
Airbus
Marcel Rummens, Product Owner of Internal AI Platform"Only Microsoft offered the proven, cutting-edge technologies and models that have been trained on Microsoft data sets on a very large scale and are available completely disconnected.... All of this accelerates our time to market, and that has been the key differentiator for us."
NHS BSA
Michael Brodie, Chief Executive, NHS"We believe that we can do so much more by using AI to read our documentation, to read more fields on that, and to read handwritten info, and to use that AI engine to deliver better taxpayer value, to deliver better outcomes, and deliver better patient safety."
Walgreens Boots Alliance
Ankur Jain, Principal Architect, Digital Engineering, Walgreens Boots Alliance"Because of the work Microsoft had already put into developing the Healthcare Bot service, we were able to put our COVID-19 response chatbot into production in less than a week."
Nestlé Global Security Operations Center
Ignasi Paredes-Oliva, Lead Data Scientist"MLOps is at the core of our product. Because of its reproducible ML pipelines, reusable environments for model training, versioned and registered models, and automatic model scoring, we're definitely detecting things that we missed before. Which, in terms of risk management, is really, really important."
BBC
Ian Walker, Head of Communications, Digital, BBC"We're building a voice service for all our diverse audiences. Azure gives us the opportunity to deliver what we see is the future of content."
