Microsoft Azure

Microsoft Azure is Microsoft’s cloud computing platform, providing services for data storage, computing, databases, AI and advanced analytics. NHS trusts use Azure to securely bring together large volumes of clinical, operational and administrative data, enabling faster reporting and deeper analysis. Its analytics tools can help trusts monitor patient flow, demand, waiting lists, staffing and service performance, while AI and machine-learning capabilities support forecasting and population health insights. Azure also integrates with familiar Microsoft tools such as Power BI, helping NHS teams turn complex healthcare data into accessible dashboards and actionable insights.
