From mobile apps to data insights, Microsoft Technology-based solution is filling up milk bottles across India

“Bitscape is a technology consulting company,” CEO and Managing Director Kartik Shah explains. “We help businesses and individuals achieve more with Microsoft technologies.” Vice President of Sales and Operations Rinkesh Arora elaborates: “We don’t approach our customers to sell, we approach them to solve their problems.” What problems does Bitscape help solve?

Consider the firm’s work with an Indian government agency to solve a multifaceted challenge: increasing dairy production while reducing costs to rural dairy farmers, nationwide. Through deep field research, as well as development utilizing SQL Server 2016 with R Services, Bitscape created a data warehouse and an in-memory database to collect, store, and analyze cows’ habits, histories, and locations. This work ultimately led to a mobile-optimized app that farmers could easily use to track feed intake and milk output. Today, the solution of the agency empowered by Bitscape and the Microsoft Technology tracks some 8 million animals across 48,000 villages and thousands of miles and is helping position India as a world leader in dairy production.

The solution uses an intuitive mobile interface so that rural farmers can easily track their animals’ intake and output. It records cow’s habits, analyzing data to determine what feed can both provide good nutrition for the cows to increase milk produce and, at the same time, reduce the daily expense for the farmers. By implementing the newest Microsoft technologies, the agency deployed a solution with help of Bitscape to track 8 million animals across 48,000 villages and thousands of miles.

Azure migration dashboard leads to big wins

10th Magnitude identified a common theme across Azure infrastructure opportunities: customers struggle with cost estimation and comparison when migrating to the cloud. To address these challenges, 10th Magnitude built an Azure Migration Dashboard.

This dashboard has delivered significant benefits for customers, allowing them to easily compare different investments to make more informed purchase decisions. For instance, a global construction firm was preparing to move its IT infrastructure to another cloud provider—until the firm discovered 10th Magnitude’s Azure Migration Dashboard.

After using the tool’s ability to compare infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) optimization scenarios, the construction firm realized that an Azure-powered IaaS and PaaS solution would be far more cost-effective than an AWS lift-and-shift. As a result, the construction firm deployed an on-premises Windows and Linux environment with Azure Site Recovery failover that integrates with Azure services, all while saving money for the customer. And it does it all with remarkable yearly savings for the customer.

With the power of the Azure Migration Dashboard, 10th Magnitude successfully served several new clients. The key to each of those successes was 10th Magnitude’s ability to show the customer in detail how infrastructure optimized with Azure was the best option for its business.
