Get UIText text from Azure or other database

Is it possible to get the text for my UIText prefabs (like the ones from the Holotoolkit) from a cloud database? If so, how?
For example, when I pull up info about an object, I want to see the latest data about it, like sales figures.

    Easiest would be to create prefabs that contain ui text elements. When you want the data, just make a web call to an azure service to get the data. Finally use the data as source text of your prefab by updating it's text property. With the prefab you can make it look like what you want and just update the text on the fly compared to having to create everything at run time.
