It is in everyone’s desire to have the easiest way of completing their office tasks. However, this raises the need for heightened technology and is perhaps the reason why Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) is working together with Mercedes-Benz to bring this desire to realization. The duo is collaborating on an “In Car Office” project which will make possible for anyone to work on their cars at least if they are of “Mercedes” model. This will involve the addition of a “Microsoft Exchange” support which should be integrated with ones working calendar. The technology enables one to work even while driving the car.
Let’s analyze the new feature by Microsoft and Mercedes-Benz
The primary objective of the new feature is to make everyone productive even while on the go. It is perhaps the best for those who get stuck in traffic. The car’s navigation unit will be auto- populated to allow for a hands-free call for example when seeking for directions for an upcoming meeting. Nonetheless, this may not be necessary for those who can memorize their meeting details, but they would still probably need it in the future.
The German automaker is one of the many automakers that are racing with the need for technology. Apparently, at the wake of every dawn, there is something new in the industry; either a new model of a car or a new technology. Meanwhile, none of the two has divulged the exact details or specifications of how soon the project would be in full implementation. However, speculations have it that it will not take too long.
Notably, it is not the first time that Microsoft is engaging in bringing productivity to the pavement. Earlier in the year, the company joined forces with Volvo AB (ADR)(OTCMKTS:VOLVY) as they both tried to bring some of Office 365’s functionality into its cars. Surprisingly, Microsoft seems to put more focus into helping out as the other major tech firms concentrate on developing independent, autonomous technologies.
