Case Study: Honeywell transforms connected home services with Microsoft Azure

Honeywell - Customer Case Study

Honeywell, a global manufacturing company and a Fortune 100 corporation, sought to transform its business from producing physical home products to creating a data-driven, connected ecosystem. Their challenge was to develop a secure and scalable enterprise-wide IoT software platform, which would allow them to standardize development, analyze real-time data from devices, and unlock new value for their customers without diverting their engineering resources to building their own cloud infrastructure.

Microsoft provided the solution with its Azure cloud platform, specifically leveraging Azure IoT Suite and Cortana Intelligence Suite. This allowed Honeywell to build its Sentience software platform, which ingests and analyzes data from millions of connected devices. The results were significant: Honeywell more than halved its feature development time and unlocked new revenue streams. The solution enabled predictive maintenance, created new service opportunities for partners and insurance providers, and accelerated Honeywell's global expansion by utilizing Azure's worldwide data centers.
