Shows how much more likely Azure Communication Service customers are to use each tool compared to the general population. For example, 287x means customers are 287 times more likely to use that tool.
I noticed that Azure Communication Service users are deeply embedded in the Microsoft enterprise ecosystem, suggesting these are established B2B companies with significant investment in Microsoft's business platform. The overwhelming presence of Azure DevOps, Azure DNS, and Intune tells me these organizations have standardized on Microsoft infrastructure and aren't just dabbling with a single product. They've committed to the full suite.
The pairing with Microsoft Dynamics for Sales is particularly revealing. These companies are using communication capabilities directly within their CRM workflows, likely embedding calling, SMS, or video features into their sales processes. When you combine this with DocuSign Intelligent Agreement Management appearing 28 times more often, I see a clear pattern of companies focused on closing complex B2B deals that require multiple touchpoints and digital signature workflows. The high correlation with Google Search Console suggests they're also running substantial inbound marketing operations to feed their sales pipeline.
My analysis shows these are sales-led organizations, probably at growth or mature stages given their enterprise-grade infrastructure investments. The Intune presence indicates they're managing distributed teams with hundreds or thousands of employees who need secure access to company resources. They're not scrappy startups experimenting with tools but rather established companies executing structured sales motions with compliance requirements.

I noticed that Azure Communication Service customers span an incredibly wide range of industries, but they share something more fundamental than sector labels. These are organizations that need to maintain ongoing relationships with their constituents: banks serving account holders, insurance companies managing policies, logistics firms tracking shipments, hospitals coordinating patient care, government agencies serving citizens, and retailers connecting with customers. They're not just selling products but managing complex service relationships that require reliable communication infrastructure.
The size and maturity signals are revealing. Most have between 50 and 500 employees, which places them in that mid-market sweet spot where they're substantial enough to need enterprise-grade tools but not so large that they've built everything custom. Many mention decades of history (30+ years, + years, "since 1863"), suggesting established organizations undergoing digital modernization rather than digital-native startups. Very few mention recent funding rounds, and when they do, it's typically debt financing or modest amounts, not venture capital.
