If you have developed your solution leveraging the Microsoft assets, you have made the right bet. Microsoft is the best priced, best penetrated and most customised platform for Health.

There is a wonderful alignment between Microsoft’s assets and what Health Reform is trying to achieve. Our customers are investing in technology to facilitate collaboration between healthcare workers, that moves the clinically relevant data to the point of care, that provides decision support to doctors, patients and nurses and that reduces the administrative burden on our constrained workforce. The Microsoft Stack does all this. Its fits with health is wonderful.  

We at Microsoft are making significant investments in leveraging our assets to assist the Health Reform Agenda. Key to our success is you, our Partners.

How can we help you? We now have a dedicated Health & Social Services Team, we have made a number of recent investments in acquiring Health specific technology, we are undertaking significant industrial design projects to customise IT for Clinical end users, we have a significant and growing footprint in Health ensuring that more and more of your target customers are standardising on the Microsoft Stack, and we are investing in building a Health ecosystem for the already 989 (and growing) Health Partners.
