Transportation and infrastructure is moving to the cloud, as evidenced by a Microsoft Azure “data lake” built with support by Azure DevOps for leading transportation manufacturing company Schmitz Cargobull AG. Semi-trailer customers now have access to one portal where they can track anything from performance to vehicle condition.
Instead of making large investments in on-premises hardware, you can instead use Azure cloud products to connect different databases into one convenient interface.
You can future-proof your organization and mitigate security risks with Microsoft 365. Products like Endpoint Manager, Azure Active Directory, and Microsoft Defender enable shared configured devices, streamlined deployments with zero-touch provisioning, secure, high-performance access, and much more. Review the infographic to learn about how hybrid and frontline workers can work more efficiently with a platform that is easy to manage, secure, and equipped with modern tools for a transformative business scenario.
“For some companies, the idea of adopting open-source software doesn’t seem viable. There are many myths about open source, but the truth is that it can facilitate security, be easy to maintain and integrate, and scale to whatever heights you require.
Whether you’re concerned about security, maintenance, or compatibility, open source can open up a world of possibilities for companies across all industries.

We know that software developers use open-source software to confront major technological challenges, and that it’s critical to have a strategy in place that governs its use. If open source is new to you, find some recommendations on how to build a strategy and take a staggered approach to enter into this collaborative digital landscape.
Today’s workers require adaptability since they often use various devices to accomplish tasks. Microsoft cloud, apps, and endpoints combine services you may already be using, such as Microsoft Intune, which are part of the Microsoft 365 stack designed to help secure access, protect data, and respond and manage risk.
Use Endpoint Manager to deploy and configure apps to keep teams connected, apply Azure Virtual Desktop for fast, familiar access to internal resources, access Surface Hub to support a vast device ecosystem, and secure conditional access to mobile apps with Azure Active Directory.
REI, the largest consumer cooperative in the United States, uses Microsoft Teams Connect capabilities to simplify how employees collaborate with people outside their organization. The company, for example, applies Microsoft Endpoint Manager and Intune in its strategy for protecting mobile devices. Moving to Microsoft 365 enabled employees more opportunities to use personal devices—and most importantly, to keep them secure. The freedom and flexibility of a hybrid or remote workforce with secure devices has also allowed the company to recruit and hire outside the Puget Sound area.
Maps that precisely plot road signs, traffic lights, lanes, and sidewalks within a few centimeters—that’s the sort of data-intensive information required to make Bertrandt’s self-driving car project HARRI a reality. And it took Microsoft Azure Services to tame the tremendous flood of data needed to drive HARRI, as a small map’s worth of data with this level of detail would overwhelm the vehicle’s on-board storage capabilities. Azure DevOps facilitated the creation of the exacting software for this solution by coordinating the work of development, operations, and quality assurance teams.
To function in a safer digital environment, companies must now consider endpoint detection and response software (EDR) enabled with AI and machine learning capabilities, as well as threat intelligence databases to minimize potential security breaches.
But most of the features that users expect, like device control, advanced threat targeting, and rollback, are either unavailable or come at extra cost. Microsoft Defender for Endpoints integrates into the source code of Windows, making it an obvious choice for its devices (also available for Mac and Linux).
With the ability to commit changes and quickly deploy them to the cloud using tools such as GitHub Actions and Azure Pipelines for CI/CD, developer teams gain agility in deploying and maintaining their apps.

Microsoft Endpoint Manager is a solution that provides on-premises and cloud-based devices with tools (as well as the ability to co-manage with them) to provision, deploy, manage, and secure endpoints. It also enables insights into endpoint health and performance and remediates vulnerabilities in multiple areas—all while significantly reducing costs.
Microsoft Endpoint Manager gives organizations the enhanced control and monitoring to support employees with minimal impact on user experience while preventing data loss and applying Zero Trust best practices.
