In the same way, the integration of Microsoft Dynamics 365 and LinkedIn focused on business productivity. The social network is presented as an important alternative for Microsoft. Its integration enriches the search for contacts, opportunities, and information and helps to simplify processes.

From the side of Microsoft Dynamics for Marketing, it is presented as a development tool to automate real initiatives like campaigns.

HoloLens: getting better

Innovation at all points is the core of Microsoft‘s essence. The implementation of elements such as virtual reality and artificial intelligence were some of the ones that most impacted those attending the event.

Among the most outstanding presentations is the fusion of virtual and physical reality, which helps create and execute designs through movements. Similarly, AI for Earth was announced, an innovative alternative to working on solutions for the planet.

Microsoft Azure and Microsoft Cloud to connect people

With real-life examples, the conference served to showcase countless Microsoft offerings through all of the tools.

With Judson Althoff, Vice President of International Business at Microsoft, companies show their integration with the technology brand. A greater connection with employees and customers and the optimization of operations and the transformation of products were some of these tools’ benefits.

Among the companies, Cubic Transportation Systems, BroadReach and USAID, and HHPBerlin were highlighted in collaboration with ProMX.
