We are very grateful for the award.
The quality of Microsoft Azure services has helped us to complete the value-added features of our product. In the past, we had to create our own learning models from scratch, and I remember that it was very difficult to achieve the features that we wished we had. This time, we were able to leverage Microsoft Azure to achieve both development speed and quality.
