The 2nd edition of Microsoft Enterprise Day 2013 (MED) was held in December 2013 in 3 enterprise hubs of India – Delhi, Bangalore and Mumbai, and was inspired from the global theme ‘Reimagining the Enterprise’. The event witnessed CIOs, business leaders and IT influencers to participate in collaborative sessions.

Focused on the One Microsoft Story, this year’s MED was all about showcasing and experiencing Microsoft’s Devices and Services strategy, and the upcoming wave of our innovation – it was aimed at generating ideas about how enterprises can ‘reimagine’ their businesses in terms of productivity, data security, managing costs, and improving their overall presence in the industry. Each session was aimed at providing a deeper understanding of Microsoft’s capabilities and how we can help you deliver a business impact. High-value business experiences were sited that provided a collaborative venue for CIOs to further explore these topics.

On behalf of everyone at Microsoft, thank you for participating in this year’s MED and making it a rich and insightful event. We are committed to listening and responding to your feedback as we continue to partner together to deliver strong value and return to the business.
