Tech tools in focus this week

Each week our newsletter focusses on different technology tools.

This week it deals with Azure AI.

Based upon our 20+ years’ experience in Business and IT Transformation projects, we recommend the following tools.

AZURE AI

Transforming your business with CRM and ERP software is so much more these days, and that includes implementing AI as a second step that needs to be thought ahead.

?? Azure AI

Here's just some of what you can do with Azure

• Build and train machine learning models: quickly and easily build, train, and deploy machine learning models using your preferred tools and frameworks, regardless of where you write your code. Get started with Azure Machine Learning and Azure Databricks.
• Deploy high-quality AI models as APIs: deliver breakthrough experiences in your apps using industry-leading AI models found in widely used products like Office 365 and Xbox. Get started with Azure Cognitive Services.
• Quickly build AI solutions for common business processes: get your AI solution live with services that provide task-specific AI and business logic to streamline common processes. Automate document processing, scale customer service with bots, and extract insights from content. Get started with Azure Applied AI Services.

Even more exciting than private use is business use, e.g., to make program and project management even more effective and efficient or generally for the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics, Salesforce and/or SAP S/4 HANA. I will be talking about these topics in the next newsletters.

It should be noted that rapid development is expected over the next few months, so I will be reporting on progress on an ongoing basis.
