In a world where we can expect more than 40 billion devices generating nearly 80 zettabytes (ZB) of data by 2025, organizations and industries will need to quickly adopt new technologies and build technological capabilities that will enable them to flourish in an innovation-led, cloud first, artificial intelligence focused future.
That is the impetus to create a comprehensive and immersive technology experience for businesses in Asia Pacific, to help them immediately visualize, learn and adopt innovations for their digital and cultural transformation journeys. Located within the new regional headquarters for Microsoft at Frasers Tower in Singapore, The Experience Center Asia showcases a confluence of technology and partners, to empower every organization in every industry to digitalize, disrupt, innovate and transform.
“We believe every company will become a software company as digital transformation and tech intensity becomes pervasive in every organization. The Experience Center Asia allows businesses in Asia Pacific to learn about the urgency with which they need to embrace this transformation, and explore our extensive portfolio of industry solutions which showcase what’s immediately available and possible by partnering with Microsoft,” said Andrea Della Mattea, President for Microsoft in Asia Pacific.
