More Information

• Yahoo– To provide more relevant ads to consumers, Yahoo adopted

Hadoop & SQL Server to manage one of their largest databases (1.2

TB of data per day) in the world and improve their ROI.

• Heraeus– Heraeus Holding had diversified into so many areas that its BI

systems were too complex and slow. They combined their data into

a single companywide system based on Microsoft SQL Server.

Reports in the new system run 10 times faster, and improvements to

data analysis capabilities are leading to better business decisions.

• BNZ– BNZ needed faster, more flexible access to customer and

transaction data so that it can respond more quickly to market

conditions. The bank’s BI specialists needed up to a week to satisfy

a data request—far too slow. BNZ turned to Microsoft for BI tools

that will let the analysts run reports themselves, giving them the fast

data results they need.

• All-Blacks– To improve the ability to scale their web site during high-peak

traffic times, the All-Blacks worked with Provoke Solutions and

Azure to implement a scalable and responsive Web site.
