With the Microsoft Dynamics 365 platform, CAI was able to make the information systems adopted by the various consortia homogeneous, increase flexibility and customize the tools according to the needs of each sector. “The decision to adopt Microsoft’s cloud solutions – reads a note – is part of a solid digitization process initiated by CAI, within which the new generations of farmers and entrepreneurs, open to digital, have had a fundamental role and new technologies, such as cloud, IoT and artificial intelligence.

Agriculture represents one of the sectors of our economy where the potential of digitization is not yet fully expressed and, if properly exploited, they can guarantee enormous benefits to the entire supply chain, promoting growth and competitiveness at an international level “, commented Silvia Candiani, CEO of Microsoft Italy. “I am convinced that the path undertaken together with CAI, Reply and Bluarancio will lead to new and unexplored horizons of innovation for the sector. I hope that CAI’s pioneering project will promote the digital transformation of many Italian companies towards a new frontier of agriculture and that it can play the role of a platform for cooperation between new generations of farmers and entrepreneurs in a logic of integration between the agri-food tradition and new requests for biodiversity and sustainability “, he continued.
