“Cloud for global good”

The expansion of technologies such as cloud computing, Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence and Big Data are reshaping everything in our lives, productivity, innovation, economic growth. These technologies introduce new fields of innovation to the economy and society at large bringing ever closer companies and technology today which is why we are calling this the “digital transformation”. The world is finding itself on the leading edge of a transformative technological revolution, in fact the 4th industrial revolution. Moreover, personal data occupies an important place within these emerging technologies and has already become an important asset for both private and public-sector organizations. However, in such a new world, trust is more important than ever. At Microsoft, we believe that organizations won’t use technology they don’t trust. That is why Microsoft as cloud service provider implements practices and offers tools fostering transparency and high level of data protection to help its customers to meet their compliance and security needs.
