Partner Case Study: TBSC
Partner in England helps customers manage clients’ Microsoft 365 licenses Based in Basingstoke, England, The Business Software Centre (TBSC) specializes in conversion, e-commerce, and ecosystem consultancy for Software as a Service (SaaS). For more than 20 years, TBSC has provided quick, efficient, and cost-effective software asset management. TBSC’s Smarter SaaS for Microsoft 365 app, available on Microsoft AppSource, provides important data for Microsoft 365 licenses. The app monitors active and inactive users, with the option to anonymize user names and data. Data can show usage of Microsoft 365 E3 apps, such as SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, and Outlook, and present opportunities to increase it. License optimization can be achieved through reharvesting (taking an inactive subscription and redistributing it to an active user). The app also provides visibility into licensing compliance. These measures help companies fully utilize the licenses they're paying for. “Smarter SaaS for Microsoft 365 is recommended to our partners looking to manage their clients’ Microsoft 365 licenses,” said Phil Hames, Director of TBSC. “Our product is an automated, cloud-based service that ensures an improvement on clients’ Microsoft 365 investment. This allows for an opportunity to not only manage Microsoft 365 licenses but also build loyalty with clients, since partners can showcase how their organization can be optimized with Microsoft 365 usage through accurate and actionable data.” Continue reading here **Explore all case studies or submit your own**Partner Case Study | Tiger Analytics

The longstanding partnership between Microsoft and Siemens—a German tech conglomerate that focuses on industrial automation—helps solve a crucial challenge facing consumer packaged goods (CPG) and retail companies: fragmented processes across production. The CPG and retail industries—both essential to everyday life and major players on the global stage—experience multiple unique pain points. Consumers have rapidly shifting preferences; labeling and packaging regulations are more stringent than in past decades; and both product ingredients and waste reduction efforts must reflect sustainability goals—not to mention the complexity of global supply chains. In addition to all this, siloed teams and disconnected operations can take a serious toll, slowing down product launches, driving up compliance costs, and making it harder to keep up with market trends. Siemens' Integrated Lifecycle Management (ILM) is specifically tailored to address the complex needs of the CPG and retail industries. A single, reliable source of truth helps organizations manage industry complexity, minimize errors, and accelerate decision-making. By seamlessly connecting product development, program management, and brand management using AI and cloud innovation, Siemens' ILM helps these sectors remain agile and competitive in a fast-paced market. Cloud-powered lifecycle management tailored for CPG and retail At the core of Siemens' ILM is Siemens' Teamcenter X on Azure, a cloud-based product lifecycle management (PLM) platform. Teamcenter X securely integrates teams, processes, business systems, and critical product data. For CPG manufacturers, this accelerates innovation, shortens product development cycles, and provides the agility needed to quickly respond to changes in consumer demand and regulatory requirements. Additionally, Teamcenter X on Azure delivers powerful generative AI capabilities, including seamless integration with Microsoft Teams and its intuitive chat functionality. This significantly improves cross-team communication and collaboration, a critical advantage for any organization. Teamcenter X on Azure harnesses advanced AI to enhance productivity and innovation specifically within the demanding environment of CPG manufacturing. Powered by Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service, the application helps augment the creation, optimization, and debugging of code for factory automation software, while industrial AI makes visual quality inspection on the shop floor possible.

The National Gallery Singapore is a visual arts institution overseeing the largest public collection of modern art in Singapore and Southeast Asia. Its vast collection sits inside a beautifully restored 64,000 square-meter venue that was formerly Singapore’s City Hall and Supreme Court. As a public museum, the National Gallery Singapore aims to help as many people connect, resonate, and fall in love with art. Making art more accessible through tech Technology plays an important role in this work. “It takes effort to make art accessible, engaging, and relevant. That’s where technology comes in,” shares Ryan Ho, Head of Innovation and Experience Design at the National Gallery Singapore. “Our innovation initiatives focus on helping visitors experience and connect with art in more intuitive and personal ways." To accomplish this, the Gallery works with various innovation specialists and partners—such as NCS.Partnerships like these have made it possible to tailor experiences to Singaporean visitors, incorporating local cultural references while maintaining the experience accessible to international audiences. The partnership with NCS has led to several pilot projects, mostly around ways to enhance visitor engagement with art. “It’s one thing to brainstorm ideas about how technology could enhance visitor engagement, but we value collaborative partnerships like these because they let us build, test, and refine these ideas. NCS have been great at that,” Ho adds. NCS shares the gallery’s vision. “At NCS, we harness technology to revolutionize how people connect with art and culture. As the innovation partner of National Gallery Singapore, we are enhancing the museum experience with cutting-edge solutions like GenAI and our proprietary Automated Speech Recognition (ASR) to personalize visitor experiences, making art more accessible and immersive,” said Wynthia Goh, Senior Partner, Global NEXT, NCS. The Gallery’s technology initiatives aim to bring the wealth of Southeast Asian art and social history to life for its visitors. “When someone walks into the museum today, they often feel lost or intimidated,” explains Ho. Wall texts provide limited context, and guided tours—while insightful—are constrained by schedules, language, and capacity. The National Gallery Singapore decided to build an AI-powered docent to bridge that gap. G(ai)le searches the Gallery archives and delivers information about its artworks in conversational, accessible language and humor. “One of our longstanding challenges has been translating dense, academic research into content that is digestible for the average visitor. We quickly realized that AI could do more than just retrieve information; it could act as a bridge between academic language and visitor-friendly storytelling,” Ho shares.

Effective financial reporting can be as laborious for a company as it is crucial. Traditional methods of manually tracking and reporting on the financial health of a business—involving potentially hundreds of thousands or millions of data points—in order to make strategic decisions on its future can be tedious and inefficient. New Jersey-based Vertigon Consulting recognized this frustration with manual or semi-automated financial reporting and invested in a future where data analytics could be leveraged for reliable, scalable, and repeatable business insights. Their flagship SaaS solution, Cloud BI, benefits Vertigon’s customers by automating the tiresome accumulation of information and making more time for higher-level functions like analysis and decision making. Vertigon selected Microsoft Azure as the IaaS (upon which they built Cloud BI) leveraging Microsoft’s vast capability not only for its best of breed infrastructure offering but also the significant database, tools, and development capability. Vertigon was one of Microsoft’s first customers in the cloud with subscriptions dating back to 2013. Soon after, Vertigon transitioned from SharePoint integrated BI to Microsoft’s Power tools: Power BI, Power Query, and Power Automate, as well as the suite of O365 applications. The success of Cloud BI has led to its implementation in hundreds of companies nationwide.
