Microsoft is already showing positive signs of this transformation, from an on premise software vendor to the provider of an ecosystem--an ecosystem that dwells cloud, mobile, productivity platforms and a powerful OS.Microsoft is in a unique position to do this because it can harmonize the needs of organizations, individuals and developers through its services and software. Microsoft is now more inclusive, embracing the diversity of driving the next generation of computing--both for the enterprise and the consumer. While Microsoft's commercial cloud services--including Office 365 and Microsoft Azure--are helping enterprises successfully run their business at one end, the Windows OS, on the other end is acting as a catalyst. The soon to be launched Windows 10 is a great addition to this ecosystem. At a time of declining PC sales and BYOD culture, Microsoft knows that the future of Windows--one of the company's traditional cash cows in the enterprise--exclusively depends on its ability to adapt seamlessly to multiple environments. Fueled by the cloud, social media, IoT, big data and other technological innovations, these environments are forcing radical changes in the way enterprises operate. Microsoft Solution providers across the globe understand this new landscape characterized by gross fragmentation and emergence of new platforms. Many of these solution providers who have built their business solely focusing on on-premice Microsoft software are significantly making adjustments to push the cloud services. They are adapting to the new model of business. In Microsoft's mobile first, cloud first journey forward, these solution providers will have a huge role to play. On that note, we present you a special edition on Microsoft. In this edition, we feature the most promising solution providers, who are helping enterprises thrive in a new ecosystem powered by cloud, mobile and driven by Microsoft.Let us know how you are leveraging Microsoft solutions in your business.Jeevan George,Managing Editoreditor@cioreview.comMSFT: Into the EnterpriseEditorial
