Case Study: 3M accelerates mobile app development and gains real-time insight with Microsoft Azure Mobile Services

3M Speeds Mobile-App Development and Gains Real-Time Insight with Cloud Solution

3M, a leading global manufacturer, needed a better way to track its hardware and software assets across thousands of installations to gain real-time insight into its market. Challenged to deliver a solution in a single weekend, they turned to Microsoft for a cloud solution to build a mobile app for its sales team.

Using Microsoft Azure Mobile Services integrated with Visual Studio and Xamarin, 3M rapidly developed a cross-platform application that syncs data to the cloud. This solution from Microsoft provided immediate access to information for 40 salespeople, accelerated development time from weeks to just two days, and improved support for the company's business expansion.
