Case Study: Qatar Computing Research Institute achieves scalable, AI-powered research innovation with Microsoft Corporation Azure

Qatar research institute embraces the power of AI for global impact

Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI) needed a flexible, reliable platform to support its growing AI and research projects without downtime, while handling large volumes of data efficiently. It turned to Microsoft Corporation and Azure to power initiatives such as disaster response, transcription, translation, and clinical literature review.

Microsoft Corporation helped QCRI migrate its workloads to Azure with expert support, enabling scalable cloud storage and more efficient project infrastructure. The results included no downtime, lower time and cost for building infrastructure, faster disaster-response insights, and up to 50% time savings in research through the Rayyan platform, which now supports over 13,000 users.
