Microsoft has underscored its commitment to the partner ecosystem and announced new programmes and a new category of intelligent devices, designed to take advantage of a digitally connected world and drive new growth and opportunity for the industry.
At Computex Taipei, Microsoft shared how the era of the intelligent cloud and intelligent edge will usher in the next phase of innovation and create a broad portfolio of devices that will blend more naturally into people’s lives. Nick Parker, Microsoft Corporate VP, Consumer and Device Sales, showcased how Microsoft is bringing the industry together to build the intelligent cloud and intelligent edge, delivering new experiences and solutions not previously possible.
“For Microsoft, it’s more than just screens and devices; it’s about creating services and experiences with technology that support ambitions and aspirations,” Parker said. Imagine the devices and experiences we can create with ubiquitous computing, infused with artificial intelligence (AI) and
connected to the cloud. This is such an incredible time for the industry.”
Parker was joined on stage by Roanne Sones, Corporate VP, Platforms, Microsoft, who announced a new partner community for the intelligent edge, a new category of Windows 10 devices called Windows Collaboration Displays and a new offering with Windows 10 IoT Core Services.
Sones also outlined momentum in areas including:
Intelligent edge partner community
All partners are invited to join Microsoft's intelligent edge partner community. The community will help partners connect with one another to identify opportunities to collaborate on technology innovation and achieve shared business goals.
In addition, community members will be able to participate in trainings and community events, and can participate in early adopter programmes that provide access to documentation, specifications, operating system (OS) builds and certification details.
Windows IoT Core Services
Microsoft revealed a new service offering that will enable partners to commercialise a secure IoT device. The service offering helps make it easier to manage updates for the OS, apps, settings and original equipment manufacturer (OEM)-specific files; includes device health attestation (DHA); and is backed with 10 years of support.
Windows Collaboration Displays
Microsoft 365 brings together Office 365, Windows 10 and Enterprise Mobility + Security that together deliver a complete, intelligent and secure solution to empower employees.
Along with its partner ecosystem, Microsoft announced new opportunities to bring Microsoft 365 experiences to life through a new category of devices called Windows Collaboration Displays. These new devices allow users to experience Microsoft 365 collaboration tools, Office, Teams and Whiteboard, at room scale, and include built-in sensors that can connect to Azure IoT spatial intelligence capabilities.
"This incredible technology will allow facility managers to utilise environmental data to make real-time decisions," Parker said in a blog post.
Collaboration Displays from Sharp and Avocor will be available later this year.
In the blog post Parker also introduces two new devices that show off Microsoft 365 at Computex:
HP ProBook x360 440
Built for growing businesses and professionals on-the-go, this laptop is powered by Windows 10. The device delivers the power, security and durability businesses demand in a versatile 360-degree design. Built-in security from HP BIOSphere Gen4, a firmware ecosystem that automates protection of the BIOS, coupled with Microsoft 365 and an infrared sensor supporting Windows Hello face authentication, provide strong protection.
Asus ZenBook Pro 15 UX580
This high-performance laptop has an all-aluminum unibody in Deep Dive Blue with Rose Gold detailing. Powered by the latest eighth-generation Intel Core processors, the ZenBook Pro series features Windows Hello capabilities and built-in support for Amazon Alexa voice services.
Details:
Computex Taipei is open June 5–9. There are three venues, halls 1 and 3 at the Taipei World Trade Center; hall 1 of the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center; and the Taipei International Convention Center.
