This session will give you an in-depth understanding of the recent highlights and updates of Microsoft's cloud services, and how to help companies change the way they work, so as to achieve more with less. This year's update includes the addition of a decentralized database within Azure Cosmos DB that supports the open-source database management system PostgreSQL, allowing developers to access structured and unstructured data on a familiar database management system. And with our hybrid cloud and multi-cloud environment, the Azure Public Multi-Access Edge Computing Service, based on Azure Kubernetes Service deployed on-premises or Azure Arc Service deployed at the edge, is helping operators such as AT&T develop 5G networks in the US road business. The Visual Studio image file of Microsoft Dev Box is also newly launched. Microsoft Dev Box provides a cloud-based workstation where developers can write programs anytime, anywhere, and helps them save time and focus more on writing programs.

Microsoft is committed to building the world’s leading platform of technology solutions to address external challenges. Many companies, including Microsoft, have aligned their sustainability strategies with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by all 190 UN member states as part of their 2030 agenda for sustainable development. Common carbon inventories are almost always labor-intensive, with the risks of human errors as well as inefficient data synchronization. Meanwhile, businesses nowadays not only have to meet industry or government requirements for ESG compliance but also are asked to document clearly the carbon footprints of the entire value chain; Also, they should make sure the data is easily exchanged across companies. Therefore, in this session, we will walk you through the methods to build an ESG platform with the common data model of Microsoft Sustainability Manger, which enables users to easily integrate Scope 1/2/3 recordings by built-in data connectors and to present analysis reports almost in real-time. In addition, Microsoft provides comprehensive customization capabilities, allowing customers to either develop directly on the Microsoft Sustainability Manager website or create mobile apps through Power Platform. It enables businesses to develop value-added applications according to their needs, and it helps companies to accomplish their carbon reduction goals!
