Create more personal computing
Interconnected Ambitions
Microsoft Cloud Platform for SAP®software
Microsoft Productivity & Mobile Solutions for SAP® software
We have three interconnected ambitions: build an intelligent cloud platform, create more personal computing, and reinvent productivity and business processes. At the intersection of these ambitions, is an emerging idea that we’re in the early days of making a reality. We call it conversations as a platform.
It's a simple, but powerful concept. It’s rooted in the most basic way we communicate, speech, and is about taking the power of human language and applying it more pervasively to all of our computing.
This new platform will enable us to interact with devices more intuitively, using natural language, conversations, evolving us from mechanical keyboard and mouse to touch and beyond, taking advantage of more human capabilities like our voice, pen, our face, gestures, fingerprints.
