cloud to innovate faster

Daimler AG, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of premium cars

and trucks, is driving hard to be a key player in software. To speed up
software development and thus innovation, Daimler uses Microsoft
Azure DevTest Labs. By developing in Azure, the company can onboard
developers in hours versus weeks, get new ideas underway faster, and
attract top talent with a state-of-the-art development environment.
Peter Rothlaender, Manager of Cloud Solutions at Daimler, explains why
Daimler is honking its horn about Azure DevTest Labs.

 Shell gives developers
freedom to create,
reduces IT costs with dev-
test solution in the cloud
Based in the Netherlands, Royal Dutch Shell wanted to reduce costs and
foster employee innovation by giving software developers a more cost-
effective way to set up virtual machine–based development
environments. Shell built on its existing deployment of Microsoft Visual
Studio Team Services and adopted Microsoft Azure DevTest Labs—a
self-service protected environment in which developers create and test
code using their preferred setups. Now, software builds take 80 percent
less time, and developers enjoy greater creative freedom and higher
productivity.

Risk manager reduces its
own risks by protecting
data in the cloud

RMS is a leading catastrophic risk modeling company whose software is

used by insurers, brokers, corporations, and governments to make
better decisions. To offer customers improved disaster recovery (DR) for
their RMS-hosted applications and data, RMS is using Microsoft Azure
Site Recovery. With cloud-based protection of its on-premises VMware-
based workloads, RMS can much more easily test DR setups, which
improves protection of customer data. RMS has eliminated millions of
dollars in DR costs and redirected that savings into application
innovation. RMS has also migrated dev/test and production workloads
into Azure and accelerated infrastructure deployment dramatically.
