To be a truly digital native organisation,
you have to be ready
to embrace innovation.
In doing that,
greater efficiencies can be realised.
This gives us the platform
for digital transformation
and the ability to pioneer
cutting edge solutions
that deliver cleaner, safer
capabilities to meet our planet's
vital power needs.
In order to do that,
we have to partner
with the very best providers
of fast, flexible, secure technologies.
For us that partner is Microsoft.
From deploying Azure
to create a sustainable data thread,
to the widespread use
of Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams.
Our partnership with the world's
best has been pivotal.
That's why we identified our need
to leverage the deep benefits
already embedded in Microsoft stack.
With Azure underpinning the
Power Platform, it enables
all of my colleagues in Rolls-Royce
to improve their productivity
and continue to drive
Rolls-Royce forward.
It's essential
that our staff become highly skilled
and highly literate in its features.
Its low-code no code foundation,
ease of use and speed of deployment
means a process
that would have taken months
can now be delivered in just a few days.
Power Platform has been the most popular solution area
for upskilling at Rolls-Royce,
amounting to around 30% of the training
consumed here.
That opens us up
to the beauty of employee led innovation,
the idea that every employee
is encouraged to develop their skills
and solve their own problems
so they can make a measurable
financial savings to the company,
all without the support of IT.
In a matter of months,
we measure about 8 million
financial benefit across the organisation,
and it's only going to grow
as more people and teams develop.
Knowing that our apps are being built
within a platform recognised
as having the highest security protocols
is the biggest advantage our
Microsoft Partnership brings us.
And with Microsoft as our partner,
we will realise our vision
of being the leading
industrial technology company.
