127 INDUSTRIALS & MANUFACTURING We asked selected partners how Microsoft’s tools and technologies are helping manufacturers to develop resilient and sustainable supply chains in a time of changing customer demands and market forces Partner perspectives “At Avalara, we empower manufacturers using Dynamics 365 to build resilient, sustainable supply chains by simplifying tax compliance. Our automated solutions ensure accurate tax calculations, exemption certificate management and seamless tax filing, helping businesses adapt quickly to changing market demands and regulatory shifts. By minimising errors and saving time, Avalara enables manufacturers to focus on growth and operational efficiency rather than tax challenges. With real-time tax rate updates and a robust cloud-based platform, we support sustainable business practices and help manufacturers navigate complex tax landscapes effortlessly.” “Manufacturers can develop resilient and sustainable supply chains using Ansys Access on Microsoft Azure, a cloud engineering solution designed to meet evolving customer demands and market forces. For example, consultancy firm Movares Europe uses Ansys Mechanical – structural finite element analysis software running on Azure – to run advanced fatigue calculations on steel bridges. Movares benefits from the efficiency and scalability of Azure, which allows it to run complex simulations on optimal infrastructure. Meanwhile, the user-friendly setup and support from Ansys ensures minimal disruption. This combination allows manufacturers to innovate and adapt quickly while maintaining sustainability and operational efficiency.” Hank Norris Microsoft Strategic Partnership Director, Ansys Greg Chapman Senior Vice President, General Manager AvaTax, Avalara
