Technology Record - Issue 38: Autumn 2025

35 We highlight a selection of the Microsoft partners attending Ignite 2025, and outline how their solutions and services have generated customer success Partner spotlight AVEVA AVEVA’s partnership with Microsoft has continually delivered real business outcomes. In the Philippines, AVEVA’s partnership with the ABS-CBN Foundation and Calibr8 is transforming environmental stewardship. By harnessing AVEVA’s CONNECT on Microsoft Azure, it is empowering local communities with real-time water quality data – collected by internet-of-things boats and visualised through Power BI – to drive citizen science and protect the Verde Island Passage biodiversity hotspot. This connected ecosystem shows how robust industrial software can deliver grassroots conservation objectives: CONNECT was originally developed for manufacturing and energy sectors; it now supports environmental use cases with a model that can be replicated anywhere. Action1 Carwow, a digital automotive platform with over 400 remote employees, enhanced its security and compliance posture by combining Microsoft Intune with Action1. Intune provided foundational endpoint management, while Action1 added advanced visibility, automation and policy enforcement. Together, they enabled Carwow to easily scan for deviations from Microsoft’s security baseline, auto-remediate through PowerShell and accelerate common IT tasks like Windows 11 upgrades. As a result, weekly effort dropped from six hours to 20 minutes, with faster rollout and stronger compliance. This joint solution empowered Carwow’s lean IT team to manage remote endpoints efficiently and securely.

The office building features a variety of spaces, including open offices, quiet workstations and even a ‘forest’ where people can collaborate. Now, employees and guests can start hybrid meetings on platforms such as Microsoft Teams with just one click on the ClickShare Button or ClickShare App. In addition, the devices support the government’s bring-your-own-device model and are designed to support its sustainability goals.
