Sign up for other newsletters | Unsubscribe | Update your profile     Volume: 1, Issue: 2 - October 25, 2011 A Monthly Magazine for IT Professionals       Dear IT Professionals, The freedom to work without being desk-bound is perhaps the greatest benefit that technology offers today. Since we have the flexibility to stay connected from anywhere, work has become more mobile, more accessible and therefore less demanding. With consumerization of IT, workers are increasingly dependent on personal devices that connect with corporate networks. While organizations might see this as an IT challenge, the new Windows Phone actually makes it easy. Windows Phone allows users to be more productive with Microsoft Outlook Mobile and Office Mobile. The familiar Outlook experience makes it easy to manage emails, contacts, calendar and tasks on your Windows Phone. Windows Phone works with your existing IT infrastructure, on premise or in the cloud, and it extends your productivity infrastructure with support for Office 365, Microsoft Exchange server and SharePoint server. It's secure, it's reliable and it makes work easy. Amazing, isn't it? Do share your thoughts on this exciting new product. Meanwhile, you can stay tuned to the official Windows Phone team blog for IT pros.  Do also take the time out to check out the latest launch of the  Private cloud hub on TechNet India and get ready on both the technical aspects as well as the business perspective of the private cloud evolution.
