Founded in 1975, Microsoft (Nasdaq "MSFT") is the worldwide leader in software, services and solutions that help people and
businesses realise their full potential.

Microsoft's cloud solutions are based on delivering services to the user through a flexible, easily managed infrastructure. There
are two infrastructure models that Microsoft customers can use to implement cloud services: private cloud and public cloud.
Customers can choose between these infrastructure models based on their application delivery needs, or they can combine the
models to provide a flexible infrastructure of computing resources able to scale to changing service requirements.

Private cloud – whether you build your own private cloud or opt for a hosted solution, the private cloud lets you
harness the power of cloud computing. Pool computing resources, automate management, and improve scalability,
provisioning, and agility.

Windows Azure – a simple, reliable, and powerful platform for hosting applications and the creation of web
applications and services. Windows Azure enables organisations to consume IT as a service, so they can focus on their
business logic, as opposed to operational hurdles.

Office 365 – delivers the power of cloud productivity to businesses by bringing together online versions of our
trusted communications and collaboration software (Exchange, SharePoint and Lync) with our familiar Office
Professional Plus desktop suite.

CRM Online – Relationships are the foundation of every business and your people need access to customer
information wherever they are, whenever they need it to respond to your customers' needs. Keep everyone in the
loop with access to the most up to date information regarding marketing, sales and customer services all with a
familiar Microsoft Office Outlook experience.

Windows Intune – simplifies and helps businesses manage and secure PCs using Windows cloud services.

Windows 7 – so your computers and users can operate at peak performance, from virtually anywhere

"In terms of its importance, cloud computing is right up there with the internet itself. It has given us a foundation to
adapt and change so, whatever the future holds, we are ready. Decisions are infinitely quicker now."
Adrian Steel, Head of Infrastructure Management, Royal Mail Group
