Story
Canon grew analytics hosting faster than the local tools around it. From Japan, information technology teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Data engineers were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Azure DevOps put data platform operations on Microsoft Azure. Microsoft Azure is a public cloud platform for infrastructure, data, AI, and application services used by enterprises to host and modernize workloads. Canon keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so data engineers do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier data platform operations. Analytics hosting is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join data engineers without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
