Inspire Keynote

Im not in Vegas for Inspire so im watching from afar and wanted to watch over the keynote and its a long one but a goody. There’s great examples on how digital transformation is here now and how Microsoft and Partners are making this real. Carlsberg showcase what they are doing with beer and Technology. Its defiantly worth a watch, if not hope the below gives a good overview.

Intelligent Cloud and intelligent Edge is here ! and its real !

Lets start with intelligent Edge, people experience life via technology. If you think of the last concert you went to people watching through their mobile phones, experience life through technology

Gathering collecting data and reason over the date to drive real world impact.

Intelligent cloud and edge will shape everything to come.

Great example

Company has been around over 100 years, railways longer than computing

The way they run and increased safety and products to market, all happens with intelligent cloud and edge.

More than drones collecting data.

this not science fiction its here and now !

six solutions areas

these are linked and purposeful and how we think about technology in our lives

Brazil, they have 4 millions students. Teaching the educators a new way via minecraft. Textbooks via Azure

Dynamics fabric for student information, Azure Machine learning to drive forward drop in drop out rates.

this started from gaming

Modern Life – step into a Microsoft store

Johnston controls – thinking future of smart home technology.

This is way we invested in a free version of Microsoft Teams so that small business can use teams, take it to corporate enterprise!

up to 300 users you can empower collaboration for free !

Book club or scouts you can use Teams and bring it into modern workplace

products and services don’t become valuable without partners

Huge technology journey to do this, reimagine infrastructure, migrated to cloud, Office 365 and windows 10 across our ecosystem

over to the lab for beer science

over to Teams

End of last year for 25 years with Liverpool FC we wanted to brew hops

we brought together a diverse teams from labs, marketing, operatives from production lines, special beer for Liverpool football club

Started at anfield to get soil out the ground and took to Denmark to Carlsberg research labs

used the soil and grew the hops, played 24/7 Liverpool fc videos and sounds, really special beer to sounds of Liverpool FC

increased evidence of growth of plants when introduced to sounds

a beer infused with the spirit of the Team itself

Microsoft Teams helps unleash creativity of diverse workforce

back over to Teams again and into planner

a key moment was the harvest moment

used planner and all the teams and harvest event milestone documenting evidence

create a meeting

Teams have all the right tools in the right places to bring this to life

theres a number of partners who brought this to life

opportunity for add ins, build into Teams

Another investment area for partners

taking SAP to the cloud, dev ops

Migration into Azure

migrated 500 servers to azure and to build a modern data platform

dynamics, agile and flexible environment

lets talk Data estate

Carlsberg work with a lot of third parties to delivery strategy

CPaaS – Carlsberg platform as a service

Security bot built on azure cognitive services

Github

Azure the foundation of Dev ops environment and use third parties to speed up innovations

let like at what Carrie the bot does for Carlsberg

lets ask a question, what are the cryptography rules for the network ?

replies with categories

anybody or partner can grab advice from Carrie, bots providing real value.

Finally

PowerBI

integrated supply chain score card. dummy data is used

modern data platform allows this to be present

quality, half year review and pulled review manually and presented by PowerPoint

dive into more detail

none of this possible without partners

gone the days of half review meeting and quartely meetings, now its real time.

how do we take the data and transform beer

tech and data to make beer better

trying to use AI and flavour sense to predict what the beer will taste like

Azure machine learning for AI optimised beer

Started collaboration with Microsoft and Danish university for sensors and Microsoft to take data from sensors into Azure

big model but determines what beer will taste like

going to generate millions of data points, new barley and yeast variations, generating a lot of data into core model and learn.

able to use model to predict taste

speeding up process for better beer

now we have great beer how to bring to market

helps engage with bar owner

manage bar and driving profitability

in the bar is a new keg system draft master module 20

new keg system PET Kegs instead of steel kegs, designed to keep beer fresher for longer. 40 % lighter
