I was honoured to be the presenter at last night's meeting of SURF, the 11th largest R user group worldwide. The topic of my presentation was "R at Microsoft", where I described how Microsoft has enthusiastically embraced R for internal use (such as for Azure capacity planning, and Xbox gaming improvements), and as a feature of its data platforms including Azure ML and (soon) SQL Server 2016. Not to mention of course the continued support for Revolution R Enterprise and our R-related open source projects including Revolution R Open.
I've embedded the slides below. Many thanks to the SURF organizers and members for the warm welcome and the great conversations over pizza and (Australian!) beer.
Hi David,
Perhaps arises an opportunity to hold this presentation on one of the next R User Meeting Cologne? The Cologne group is certainly the biggest and important group in Germany!:)
Regards,
Guenter

Thanks David for sharing the deck - I presented on Microsoft and Revolution Analytics this past Monday in Atlanta, GA to our regular Microsoft BI Users PASS chapter. We had planned this talk starting two months ago. I took a lot of slides from past Revolution Analytics talks, though my final talk was not much different from what you presented.

Hello,
Thank you for the great post! I've just started using R this past year, but my office is very much an Excel shop. Will R be incorporated into Excel in the future? I think that would be pretty exciting! It would also mean that I don't have to bribe people in IT with cookies to keep R Studio on my laptop (I kid I kid!).

Hi Jason,
we made something in this direction and talk about at a Colone R-User Meeting. We call the R-Excel-Integration-Project "Calidris" and we made a short video (but sorry it is currently only in German): https://youtu.be/cJeE2_hS08Y
Maybe Revolution or you are interested?
Best regards,
Guenter
