We believe the future of work is hybrid and that the leaders of tomorrow will be the ones that empower their people to collaborate and be productive from anywhere, at any time.
If you feel like you are juggling more meetings, emails, and chats than ever, you’re probably right—and you’re certainly not alone. In our recent Work Trend Index annual report, Microsoft shared data that clearly illustrated how the digital intensity of workers’ days has increased substantially.
The world around us has dramatically changed since the last Microsoft Build. Every customer and partner is now focused on the new realities of hybrid work—enabling people to work from anywhere, at any time, and on any device.
Today, we’re pleased to announce that the Microsoft Office and OneNote apps are now available for Amazon Fire tablets in the Amazon Appstore.

How do we stay connected, informed, and motivated as we transition to the new hybrid work reality?
