In a significant leap forward for data-driven innovation, Dentsu and Elo are transforming their operations by adopting Microsoft’s advanced cloud solutions. Dentsu is achieving unprecedented speed in data analytics with Microsoft Fabric, while Elo is streamlining its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting through automation powered by the Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability.
Dentsu Revolutionizes Analytics with Microsoft Fabric
Dentsu has successfully implemented Microsoft Fabric, leading to a remarkable 55% improvement in data replication speeds. This enhancement provides near real-time insights, significantly boosting analyst productivity and enabling a comprehensive 360-degree view of agency network performance. Consolidating workloads into the Fabric environment has also reduced licensing and maintenance costs.
Key Takeaways:
- 55% faster data replication for near real-time insights.
- Lowered costs through workload consolidation.
- Enhanced enterprise performance management reporting.
Dentsu is now preparing its Fabric estate for generative AI, aiming to empower global leaders to ask strategic questions in their native languages. Copilot in Fabric will translate queries, interact with data models, and deliver visualized answers, even across different languages like Japanese and English.
This initiative requires meticulous data preparation, including cleaning historical data and defining semantic models and KPIs.
Elo Automates ESG Management with Microsoft Cloud
Elo has adopted the Microsoft ecosystem to automate and govern its ESG data management. Faced with the limitations of point solutions requiring manual data uploads and lacking integration, Elo sought a solution that could connect disparate data sources and reduce manual effort. They found this in Microsoft’s offerings.
Key Takeaways:
- Reduced manual effort in ESG reporting by 42%.
- Seamless integration of various data sources.
- Automated calculations from data receipt to emissions reporting.
Microsoft Sustainability Manager, integrated with Microsoft Power Platform and Azure, has enabled Elo to automate calculations and build trusted governance over ESG data. Microsoft Fabric’s AI-powered analytics further consolidate data pipelines and deliver real-time ESG insights.
This integration has transformed manual processes, such as extracting data from energy bills, into automated workflows. Elo highlights the crucial role of Microsoft’s ongoing support and the native connectors that simplify integration across different clouds, accelerating their sustainability journey.
