New Windows 10 and Office 365 features for the secure productive enterprise Today I am pleased to join Scott Guthrie and Satya Nadella at Ignite, the largest IT conference in the industry with more than 20,000 attendees. It’s an exciting time to be in IT, with the modern workplace creating a major shift in the way people work.

Crystal Group brings fast fashion to retailers in less than 24 hours using Microsoft technologies You may have noticed that it seems like your favorite retailers are magically stocking store shelves with the latest trends in fashion at record speeds.
