We are announcing the private preview of manufacturing data solutions in Fabric and copilot template for factory operations on Azure AI, under the Microsoft Cloud for Manufacturing. These solutions help manufacturers unify their OT and IT data estate and accelerate and scale data transformation for AI on Fabric, our end-to-end analytics SaaS based platform.
In today’s mobile-first world, cloud technology on our mobile devices has clearly transformed our personal lives. On the business side of things, a recent Harvard Business Review study sponsored by Microsoft, where manufacturers were among the top three industry respondents, found that cloud, mobile, big data and social technologies are also having a positive impact.
Earlier this week, I held a webcast with our manufacturing customers to share ideas about how they can better design for customers’ needs.
As we know, one of the biggest ways manufacturers can continue to innovate and stay ahead is through their data. An IDC survey, commissioned by Microsoft, showed that the manufacturing industry has the most to gain—a whopping $371 billion— from big data’s potential.
It’s an exciting time to be in the automotive industry. Technology innovations connected by the Internet of Things (IoT) have now made it possible for automakers to truly revolutionize how they engage with consumers, changing the relationship between them and with the car itself.

Last month, we talked about the transformation of the industrial technology platform and discussed that by connecting smart products and using big data, customer analytics, and social technologies, manufacturers are gaining a deeper understanding about how customers are using their products.
At the very beginning it was pure adventure! Lonesome riders, heading towards where the sun goes down. Mavericks, with their own rules, rebels, free to make a living their own way. Yeah, the Wild West was a time of freedom – not necessarily fun, but opportunities everywhere, endless land and resources. A playground where wildcatters started their way becoming oil barons and roughnecks shaped today’s idea of a tough guy.
The connected-car experience is the future of the automotive industry. It’s changing the relationship between automakers and their customers and offering new revenue streams for manufacturers.
Today’s Office 365 post was written by Dr. Matthias Geselle, a Vice President, member of the IT leadership team at Merck.
