At the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference Yusuf Mehdi announced an initiative that will help government and healthcare organizations experience the power and portability of world class technology without sacrificing performance and security.
The Surface Enterprise Initiative invites key partners like Booz Allen to develop solutions for Surface based on our industry expertise and capabilities in systems development, cyber security, and data analytics. The initiative demonstrates Microsoft’s understanding of the unique needs of government and healthcare enterprises and its commitment to solving problems across healthcare, energy, transportation, and national security.
What Does this Mean for Our Clients?
Better hardware, software, and cloud solutions that combine the reliability and value of Customer-off-the-Shelf (COTS) products with the benefits of custom applications and systems implementations. Our relationship with Surface and Microsoft enables us to work directly with the leading enterprise hardware and software company in the world to deliver more value faster than ever before.
The Power of Our Network
Being a part of the Surface Enterprise Initiative is one example of the way Booz Allen is evolving to address client needs in the era of audacious innovation. Our people come to Booz Allen to solve big problems for public sector and healthcare clients, and the ability to work directly with Surface devices empowers and engages our experts to drive innovation. We are using the power of our network—from small business and start-ups to academic institutions and global corporations—to create repeatable, end-to-end solutions for our clients.
Looking Forward with Microsoft and Surface
Our relationship with Microsoft has grown from a customer, to a certified member of the Microsoft Partner Network and now a key partner driving applications of Microsoft’s foundational technology. Throughout the years, I’ve consistently been impressed with Microsoft’s commitment to anticipating and addressing enterprise needs. Through the Surface Enterprise Initiative and other ongoing collaborations, we can redefine and improve the way our clients interact with technology to solve problems and advance their missions.
