ANU: Collaborative research and data sharing
Data-sharing is an immense enabler of scientific advancements. When researchers choose to make their data publicly available, they are allowing their work to contribute far beyond the original findings. Making research data more accessible also fosters transparency and trust in their work, enables other researchers to reproduce and validate their findings, and ultimately, contributes to the pace of scientific discovery by allowing others to reuse and build on top of the data. Fortunately, cloud technology has made it easier than ever to share data across major research institutions. Empowered by tools that include Microsoft Azure, researchers are relying more and more on digital collaboration and open source software to drive scientific breakthroughs.
Watch this video to learn how researchers at Australian National University (ANU) are using Azure to build on each other’s findings and avoid a siloed approach to data that leads to slower research pipelines.
Security beyond Microsoft products
With Microsoft, security can be simple once again. Microsoft 365 provides an intelligent security hub that works seamlessly across platforms, going far beyond Microsoft—to Linux and Mac, to AWS and beyond, so you can manage mission critical workloads with the right tools at your fingertips.

Stop Marketing to Millennials or Gen-Z and Start Marketing to Tribes
This year, “Gen-Z are set to overtake Millennials as the biggest generation globally,” writes Kian Bakhtiari of CMO network. He adds, however, that we shouldn’t think of young people as a marketing segment, because they’re not: “The digital age has enabled the creation of modern tribes, united by a shared mindset, rather than age or location.”
Demographic information alone is no longer as important. Add in different behaviors, attitudes and needs of young people, along with the fact that they are often “invisible” and populate social media platforms—and you have a more complicated yet authentic way of understanding your customer base. The fact that Bakhtiari’s byline in Forbes magazine states he writes about marketing through a “Millennial and Gen-Z lens” is proof of his message. Read his entire article, “Stop Marketing to Millennials or Gen-Z and Start Marketing to Tribes” to better understand this mindset shift.
How AI is finding patterns and anomalies in your data
From autonomous vehicles, predictive analytics applications, and facial recognition, to chatbots, virtual assistants, cognitive automation, and fraud detection, the use cases for AI span dozens of industries. Regardless of the AI application, though, these use cases all have a common aspect. After implementing thousands of AI projects, experts have come to realize that despite all of the diversity in applications, AI use cases fall into one or more of seven common patterns. One of them—the pattern-matching pattern—has allowed machines to digest large amounts of data to identify patterns, anomalies, and outliers in the data, so organizations can unearth previously undiscovered insights in their datasets.
In this article, you’ll learn how pattern-matching is being put to use in today’s organizations to prevent fraud, find the best job candidates, manage inventories in times of crisis, and empower data scientists with new perspectives on how to improve critical processes.
