Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare is the Redmond company’s first industry-centered cloud platforms. It leverages tools like Dynamics 365 Marketing, Dynamics 365 Customer Service and Azure IoT.

A robust partner ecosystem extends the value of the platform with additional solutions to address the most urgent challenges the healthcare industry is facing today.”
