Got a Nokia E series device? Well your going to get some new toys. Today Microsoft and Nokia have announced a partnership that’s going to put some serious pressure on BlackBerry and iPhone. The headline is that Nokia devices are going to be getting Office, that’s nice, but it’s actually quite unimportant for businesses. For the end user, its fantastic news though and it probably goes deeper than just Office, I suspect we’ll see Nokia and Microsoft working very closely on even more stuff.
This is really great news for businesses. Microsoft have just opened up another avenue of devices choices for business road warriors and the clincher is that Microsoft System Center will be able to manage these Nokia devices. That means that businesses only need to buy one tool to manage their estates, for BlackBerry they need more servers and that that means more to go wrong in addition to more cost.
Questions:
- What does this mean for “project pink”? – My guess is nothing
- What does this mean for the Windows Mobile – A new manufacturer?
- What does this mean for HTC? – Competition
- What does this mean for Nokia – Help in the area they struggle, device management.
is my book that helps you get the most out of Microsoft's latest operating system, setup your home network and much more besides.
