In order to help customers protect their greatest assets while taking full advantage of the modern workplace, Microsoft recently launched its new hero offer called SPE or Secure Productive Enterprise. Secure Productive Enterprise is the most secure, trusted as well as productive way to work that combines the best of Windows 10 Enterprise, Office 365, Enterprise Mobility + Security(EMS). It provides a comprehensive & agile platform that will seamlessly detect threats as well as respond to security breaches faster.
Secure Productive Enterprise makes it even easier for Microsoft partners to sell secure products as well as services to their customers. It creates a huge opportunity for Microsoft partners with $160 Billion+ addressable market size across Microsoft’s Enterprise Security, Productivity, Analytics, & Voice solutions. It transforms the way people work, which is made possible only by the combination of Windows 10 Enterprise, Office 365 and Enterprise Mobility + Security Suite. The offers that make up SPE are built on Microsoft’s agile platforms and services so Microsoft partners can innovate, build their own technology, differentiate with IP, as well as create new solutions, all while maintaining security as the top priority.
