Microsoft Azure Day Eurasia 2024 to Be Held in Astana
Today, technologies such as artificial intelligence and cloud services are being introduced into almost all spheres of life and are becoming available not only to specialists, but also to ordinary users. At the same time, the value of such technologies was primarily appreciated by business representatives of all levels, because they allow entrepreneurs to save the most valuable resource – time, as well as effectively allocate resources and simplify work processes.
Sergey Leshchenko, CEO of Microsoft CIS, notes: “Cloud computing and artificial intelligence technologies have already demonstrated not only their effectiveness, but also their economic value. With the public cloud, people around the world have access to flexible and scalable resources, the ability to reduce hardware and on-premises infrastructure costs, and artificial intelligence tools. In addition, the public cloud contains the technologies that countries, businesses and society need for digital transformation. At Microsoft, we are excited to be able to share our achievements in the development of these important technologies.”
With cloud computing, companies around the world can expand their capacity and infrastructure as they evolve, without having to anticipate server needs or purchase more storage space, making it a cost-effective solution and can lead to savings of 10-20% in companies’ annual IT operating budgets.
In addition, data security is a major concern for businesses, and cloud computing helps to solve it: with the help of the cloud, data can be stored on remote servers that are maintained by data security experts. For example, according to an IDG study conducted among IT enterprise leaders, 85% of respondents are more confident in the security of data and workflows using cloud infrastructure than on-premise services. 95% of companies from Fortune 500 enjoy trusted Azure cloud services.
At the same time, the application of artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing the way we interact with technology: according to Microsoft, 46% of all new software codes are now developed using artificial intelligence, 96% of developers say they can perform repetitive mechanical tasks faster, and 75% of them say they have a deeper focus on complex tasks thanks to AI technologies.
The impact of AI and cloud technologies on the development of innovations in Kazakhstan and the CIS, as well as the possibilities of their practical application, will be discussed by leading Microsoft speakers and IT experts as part of the Azure Day Eurasia event.
Conference participants will have the opportunity to hear insights from leading speakers on AI and cloud services, participate in discussions, learn about cases of using Azure OpenAl to solve complex problems, and learn how to build a process for managing the work of large language models (LLMOPS) in Azure ML Studio and Azure Al Studio.
In addition, during the event, participants will be able to get acquainted with the capabilities of generative AI – Copilot based on Azure.
The conference will also become a platform for networking with like-minded people and potential partners.
The event will be held on March 16 from 13:00 to 19.00 at Astana Hub in Astana.
