The Dallas Zoo is working hard to provide a better, larger, and more natural environment for its elephants. Using a combination of Radio Frequency Identification ankle bracelets and Azure, they have gathered more data--and more accurate data--than they previously thought possible. With the help of Power BI, researchers can now do in one day what used to take them six months, meaning accelerated improvements based on data. Technology makes for happy elephants.
