As technology converges across mobile , social media and the Internet of Things , businesses are being presented with new opportunities and pressures to rise above legacy business models . The digital revolution is placing data at the very centre of today ’ s businesses . Gaining insight into these assets is key to understanding and predicting customer behaviour .
ADAPTING TO THRIVE Companies running ‘ business as usual ’ will be slow to respond to the changes brought about by ever evolving markets and technology advances . Less than 50 % of the companies listed on the FTSE 100 in 1999 remain . In this time of ‘ Digital Darwinism ’, anything that can be digitised and automated will be , if not by you then by someone else . Implementing modern solutions provides business leaders with the opportunity to stay relevant and ahead of the competition .
“ It is not the strongest of the species that survives , nor the most intelligent , but rather the one most adaptable to change .” L . C . Megginson ( not Darwin )
THE POWER OF AZURE ANALYTICS & BI Grey Matter is working with AO to enable business leadership in digital technology and operational capability . Identifying new ways of utilising data maximises the potential of technology investment while bringing innovation to both staff and customers .
By leveraging the power of the Microsoft Azure platform , Grey Matter is providing AO with adaptability , growth and access to increased Business Intelligence . Microsoft is key in leading the charge in the digital revolution as highlighted by Microsoft ’ s CEO Satya Nadella , “ The opportunity we have in this new world is to find a way of catalysing this data exhaust from ubiquitous computing and converting it into fuel for ambient intelligence . This fuel will power improved experiences , understanding and interactions .”
Implementing Azure gives AO near instant scalability , storage and compute power . The time savings alone are considerable , bringing valuable reporting insights to AO in minutes rather than hours . Technology doesn ’ t stand still . The addition of new Azure services will ensure that AO can adapt as the new technologies open up opportunities for their business and allow them to create customer experiences that are second to none .
