Bill Gates talks about the “missing piece of software”
In a keynote address at Convergence, an annual conference for users of Microsoft Corp.’s business software, Bill Gates discussed how Microsoft is working on a “missing piece of software” - one that would use rules to determine how to respond to people trying to contact an individual. The software would use the caller’s identity to determine how best to answer the call or email. He also talked about the coming together of the structured worlds of financial and human resources applications with elements of the internet world, such as mashups.
Here at Avenue A | Razorfish, we’re excited about these trends and have already started developing solutions for our clients that merge the structured applications world with that of the web and improve employee productivity.
