Ron Markezich, the corporate vice president for Microsoft, hastaken to the Office blogto detail how Microsoft’s cloud services are enabling the digital transformation at the UK’s Ministry of Defense.

Overall, the post addresses how a government entity such as the Ministry of Defense can find the right balance between enabling employees with anytime, anywhere data access while also ensuring security.

Other areas covered include the fact that thanks to Microsoft’s Cloud Services, more than 95,000 UK Ministry of Defense mailboxes will be protected with Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection, and the fact that staff will stay productive and secure around the clock. Of course, Microsoft’s Advanced Threat Protection, Customer Lockbox at a UK data center, are also addressed. A statement in the post from Mike Stone, chief digital and information officer (CDIO) at the Ministry of Defence also reflects how Microsoft’s Cloud Services fit with the Ministry:

“The MOD chose Microsoft cloud technologies to support our transition to a more cost-effective, modern and agile organisation. Microsoft offers the security, privacy, control and transparency that meets our stringent criteria for cloud services—all available from data centres in the U.K. Additional cloud-based services such as Advanced Threat Protection provide us with complementary capabilities to keep our employees productive and our network secure.”

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
