Weathering the storm Big data and cloud technologies safeguard lives and businesses worldwide

AccuWeather, Inc. needed a way to deliver lifesaving weather intelligence reliably at global scale while keeping pace with a business that changes in real time. Using Microsoft Corporation technologies such as Azure, Cortana Intelligence Suite, and Dynamics 365, the company modernized its platform to handle massive data volumes and support faster, more flexible decision-making.

Microsoft Corporation implemented a cloud and analytics solution that moved AccuWeather’s APIs to Azure, improved workflow customization with Dynamics 365, and integrated sales, finance, and weather data for real-time insights. The results included more than 17 billion daily API requests, business intelligence lag reduced from weeks to days and moving toward real time, and measurable outcomes such as helping Union Pacific Railroad avoid tornado-related losses and saving lives and millions of dollars.
