BMW
Uses Azure, Azure AI, Cortana
The prime concern for BMW was on how can they ensure they remain in control of brand experience
throughout. Brand association inside a BMW car has to remain that of BMW. They are building an
intelligent agent which is going to be branded BMW and they are using all of Azure AI, from the bot
framework to the cognitive services, a voice for the dialogue management, but the agent itself is
BMW’s own agent. That is the strategy at work. They are going to allow access to Skype, Cortana,
Alexa, etc. but all under the terms of their brand experience. That’s how every consumer brand
needs to be thinking going forward. if they need to remain relevant.

The most important consideration in terms of digital transformation outcome:
How can you continually improve engagement with customers?
Data that is available in every company around customer is super rich. There is behavioural data
that comes from web and mobile, there is IoT data. Many customers are building products and
services that are collecting data, transactional information in ERP and CRM systems, So there is
clearly a big data opportunity. Except there is this “small data” challenge. All of this data is trapped in
silos, many of them in internal systems, but also in external ones such as in social, advertising and
marketplaces, where the data is opaque. The real challenge is to bring all this data together so that
companies are in control.

Bill McDermott
CEO, SAP
We are in a customer-driven growth revolution. every customer is going through a digital
transformation because their consumer is social, mobile, they are operating in all channels, and are
on the fly. We have to be geo-spatially in tune with them, We have to connect the end-to-end
customer experience from the demand chain, all the way through to the supply chain in real time.
CEOs in the boardrooms need a single view of the consumer, without which they are unlikely to win
in this economy. So businesses need to have their data and have open access to it.
