Screens - Microsoft Service Providers

Deliver a ubiquitous experience across the PC, TV and mobile device

Screens are the common user interfaces through which consumers and business users access services and content, whether in the office, at the home, or on the go. Microsoft’s heritage is in creating these operating platforms, all of which deliver a rich, familiar experience, across the PC, TV or mobile device. By offering a range of consumable devices to which service providers can deliver a multitude of services, Microsoft is uniquely positioned to work together with operators to make the converged lifestyle a reality.

Software is driving the telecommunications industry forward towards the goal that no matter where you are, you should be able to take your world with you. Microsoft has the breadth of technology assets to bring that idea to life and, as we work together with operators to continue to drive innovation, the combination of software plus services will deliver the best choice to consumers and businesses.
