Industry opportunities

Here are examples of how Microsoft Surface can make a difference in your industry:

Financial Services

Microsoft Surface can help replace complicated product descriptions with a dynamic and easy-to-use interface that is empowering and engaging. For example, an employee and customer may use Surface as their collaborative meeting space, reviewing portfolio options and creating a more personal and informed customer experience that drives higher customer loyalty, while improving brand image.

Health Care

Microsoft Surface can help improve the clinic and patient relationship. For example, patients can receive a better clinic experience by allowing self check-ins or researching and reviewing treatment options in collaboration with clinical staff. For clinicians, Microsoft Surface could be used as a smart white board for the emergency room or medical center, helping teams collaborate on treatment options.

Hospitality

Microsoft Surface offers entirely new ways to inform and entertain customers, helping boost revenue without incurring higher staffing costs. For example, loyalty cards can be placed on Microsoft Surface to trigger purchases of a customer’s favorite drink or meal. Or companies could extend their digital marketing campaigns to include an onsite presence, with interactive content, games, and virtual tours.

Retail

Microsoft Surface can connect customers with more and richer product information and create collaborative sales engagements right inside retail outlets, connecting the physical store, sales staff and digital content. For example, Surface recognizes mobile devices, allowing customers to download product information, compare products, cross-sell related items, and select add-on features.

Public Sector

Microsoft Surface creates a seamless way of connecting people with important and complex data. For example, security or emergency agencies can create a collaborative digital command center for planning and orchestrating large scale events, with agency personnel working together with real time mapping and location data. Or educators can deploy Microsoft Surface in classroom settings to create an entirely new way to integrate rich and interactive digital content into the learning environment.
