Live from the Microsoft AI Tour in Frankfurt: Capgemini & Sogeti showcased how Agentic AI accelerates enterprise-grade application modernization. Insights, takeaways, and why AI-driven modernization is now a board-level priority.
Did you know Microsoft just turned 50? That’s right, half a century old! For a tech company, especially in the fast-paced, constantly evolving IT industry, that’s a milestone worthy of celebration.
Microsoft and GitHub are advancing “shift-left security” in DevSecOps by implementing features like automated checks and AI-driven code reviews in development processes. These enhancements, such as GitHub’s CodeQL and Azure DevOps security gates, help identify vulnerabilities early, reducing cost, risk, and compliance burdens, promoting efficient and secure software development.
Microsoft’s Ignite event introduced Windows 365 Link, a compact ARM-based desktop PC that connects to Windows virtual desktops on Azure, optimizing workplace technology. Coupled with Azure Dev Box, which offers tailored cloud development environments, these innovations enhance productivity, flexibility, and efficiency for organizations using Microsoft tools.
When two giants of the enterprise software world shake hands, it’s worth paying attention. On October 21, 2019, SAP and Microsoft signed a three-year strategic partnership agreement, aiming to help their joint enterprise customers modernize and migrate their business processes into the cloud.
Most of us live in Outlook all day. Email, calendar, tasks, contacts—it’s our command center. But what about when you’re away from your desk? That’s where Outlook mobile steps in. And trust me, this isn’t just a slimmed-down version of your desktop app. It’s a finely tuned productivity engine—designed for your pocket, not just ported to it.
Back in December 2017, I received an unexpected surprise: Microsoft selected me to be a product tester for the Fujitsu LIFEBOOK P727. 🧑🔬💻
Moments like these don’t happen every day and as a die-hard tech enthusiast, I was thrilled.
Microsoft’s “Send” app reimagined email as ultra-light chat: no subjects, no signatures—just quick messages that land in your regular Outlook inbox. Built for iPhone and Office 365, it aimed to cut clutter, speed up teamwork, and make “got a sec?” replies painless. A small experiment with a big idea: make email feel instant.
At Build 2015, Joe Belfiore wore a Windows logo made entirely of 1s and 0s—and yes, the community decoded real messages inside. Beyond the fun, the shirt symbolized Windows 10’s developer-first pivot: Continuum, Cortana, UWP, and a faster cadence. A tiny easter egg, a big signal—this was a new decade for Windows culture.
Microsoft’s Continuum for phones is one of the most exciting ideas to come out of Build 2015. Plug a Windows 10 smartphone into a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, and it transforms into a desktop-like experience powered by universal apps. In this article, I explore what that means for users, developers, and the future of device strategy.
In early 2015, Microsoft surprised many by releasing Outlook for iOS and Android. It wasn’t just a new app—it was essentially the rebranded Acompli client, which Microsoft had acquired only weeks earlier. The move signaled Redmond’s determination to get serious about mobile productivity beyond Windows Phone. But the rollout came with immediate friction: the IT service of the European Parliament issued a warning against installing the app, citing “serious security concerns.”
Tomorrow, Microsoft is set to showcase the Windows 10 platform in a highly anticipated event. Rumor has it they might also pull the curtain back on a new Laptop–Smartphone Hybrid device, an intriguing concept that could spark fresh excitement in the business realm.
