Year in Review: Microsoft
When it comes to addressing our most pressing environmental and social challenges, technology’s role to play is both exciting and incontrovertible. Big data and advanced analytics are enabling companies to zero in on the minutiae of their carbon production and the inefficiencies that magnify it, while cloud computing is providing the computational force to accurately project how shifts in operations can yield both increased sustainability and dividends.
Ever at the forefront of realising dramatic technological change, Microsoft is characteristically driven to accelerate the aforementioned transformations by augmenting its cloud capabilities with the power of artificial intelligence (AI). “At Microsoft we are committed to delivering on our environmental goals for sustainability and empowering our customers and partner ecosystem with the technology and tools to deliver on theirs,” says Mike Chan, General Manager Cloud and Enterprise, Microsoft APAC, in Matt High's company profile from November 2019. “This starts with data capture, harnessing the power of the intelligent Cloud – a platform of limitless compute scale – and driving innovation to meet demanding business challenges and create meaningful impact with speed and agility.”
