Microsoft finally optimizing its unified Office mobile app for Apple’s iPad devices isn’t just great news for iPad users – it’s also a clear signal from Microsoft that it intends to be more proactive about servicing segments of its ecosystem that may have, until now, been under-prioritized. Microsoft has also designed for specific segments of the Office User ecosystem, which is impressive. This ability to understand the user preferences and nuances involved in these unique segments of its ecosystem makes it clear that Microsoft has spent time and resources learning what these users’ needs are and that it has developed solutions so as to best to meet them.
In this episode of the Futurum Tech Webcast, host Shelly Kramer is joined by fellow analyst Fred McClimans for a conversation about some important cybersecurity news of the week that might’ve gotten lost as a result of horrible storms, power grid troubles, and lots of cold friends and colleagues. Their conversation focused on Clubhouse, the current darling of social apps Clubhouse and that fact that it’s powered by Agora, a Chinese-based company. Are their cybersecurity concerns there? Perhaps. We also explored the latest news from the US government on the SolarWinds hack, including startling information about its point of origin, and wrapped up with good news from Microsoft’s team around its investigation post SolarWinds hack. All in all, some great cybersecurity information and discussion that we think you’ll want to be a part of.
