Story
Inside PetSmart, applied AI delivery used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in consumer discretionary groups working out of the United States. ML and product teams needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
PetSmart uses Microsoft Fabric from Microsoft Azure as the working layer for model serving. Microsoft Azure is a public cloud platform for infrastructure, data, AI, and application services used by enterprises to host and modernize workloads. The practical change is simple: applied AI delivery has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What PetSmart gets from Microsoft Azure is a durable place to run applied AI delivery and a way for ML and product teams to see the same model serving at the same time.
