Microsoft is partnering with Volvo to install Skype for Business on 90 models in the range including the Volvo XC90, V10, and S90 .
What could be better for you when you leave the office to continue work from your car?
Somehow the two giants thought like this and joined their forces by installing the service that allows you to start or join a conference even when you are behind the wheel, because we are sure that something like this would please you greatly.
This collaboration is a major achievement for Volvo, which becomes the first automobile manufacturer to turn the car into a productivity tool.
For all the workaholics out there, Anders Tylman-Mikiewicz, vice president of consumer services at Volvo, said that the days of trying to connect to a business call while also being focused on driving are long gone. The addition of Skype Business will free your hands.
And the collaboration does not end there, as the two companies decided to install Microsoft's digital assistant, Cortana, in selected car models in order to provide drivers with a digital productivity system.
The release date of Cortana for Volvo cars has not been announced yet, but Microsoft promises that it will be close to us soon. We should note at this point that Cortana, besides the traditional Windows 10 devices, was also to be installed on IoT devices such as smart refrigerators .
This is not the first collaboration between the two giants, as at CES 2016 it was announced that Volvo owners will be able to control their car via the Microsoft Band.
