						<P> 03/15 08:00 CDT </P><P>Al Roker's Productivity Forecast for Today's Always-On World   REDMOND, Wash.,  March 15, 2012</P><P>REDMOND, Wash., March 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The reality of today's always-on  world means that life and work must keep moving. So when you can't be where you  need to be due to unplanned events such as bad winter weather, a family  situation, or a surprise meeting, let Microsoft Office help you stay productive  no matter where you are.</P><P>   To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please visit:  http://www.multivu.com/mnr/54851-microsoft-office-al-roker-productivity-forecast -for-todays-always-on-world</P><P>   (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120315/MM58338 )</P><P>   "If you're like me, your office these days is anywhere but your traditional  office," says TV personality Al Roker. "But with the Internet and Office on my  side, it's easy to stay connected to people and information, anytime, anywhere."</P><P>   If your office address has changed to "anywhere and everywhere," here are a  few tips to keep you on track, no matter what:</P><P>   *   Be a packrat. Store important documents for free on the Web so you can  access them over the Internet, from a computer, iOS device, or Windows Phone.    *   Let Office be with you. Create, view, and edit documents from any Mac or  PC connected to the Internet, with the free Microsoft Office Web Apps.    *   Seize the moment. Make a quick list, or capture images and audio in  Microsoft OneNote on a Windows Phone or iOS device, then access and edit those  notes on the Web.    *   Be as good as there.

						<P>Facilities</P><P>03/14 08:00 CDT </P><P>Microsoft Deploys IDV Solutions' Software to Help Protect Its People and  FacilitiesNext-generation physical security visualization software supports  faster and more informed decision-making than the previous generation.    REDMOND, Wash., March 14, 2012</P><P>REDMOND, Wash., March 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- To help ensure the safety and  security of its employees and contractors across more than 100 countries and  nearly 700 facilities, Microsoft Corp. today announced it has deployed IDV  Solutions' new Visual Command Center software in its three Global Security  Operations Centers. These centers are responsible for integrating and  coordinating Microsoft's security operations around the globe. The announcement  was made at the Worldwide Public Safety Symposium in Redmond, Wash., an annual  event designed to increase awareness of how technology can support the public  safety sector and provide practical solutions that can be used to address daily  challenges.</P><P>   (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20000822/MSFTLOGO)</P><P>   Microsoft Global Security, which oversees the operation centers located in  Redmond; Reading, England; and Hyderabad, India, monitors more than 27,000  pieces of hardware - including access card readers, cameras, fire panels,  environmental alarms, biometric security systems and duress alarms - and  manages more than 185,000 active cardholders and more than 30 million system  events each month.</P><P>   "Microsoft Global Security's charter is to establish and maintain a safe and  secure working environment at all times, and we're committed to supporting a  cutting-edge technology environment to enable this," said Michael Foynes,  senior director, Global Security Operations, Microsoft. "IDV Solutions' Visual  Command Center is essential to maintaining our security mission - from routine  day-to-day local operations to crisis management at our facilities worldwide,  making a real impact on our ability to help keep our people safe."</P><P>   As part of Microsoft's command and control operations platform, IDV  Solutions' Visual Command Center integrates the gigabytes of data that pour in  each second from multiple internal security systems and external data feeds  around the world, uniting them in a dynamic, common operating picture that  helps Microsoft Global Security make more informed decisions, coordinate  responses and even save lives.</P><P>   "With Visual Command Center, organizations such as Microsoft are able to  better integrate data from multiple security systems with information from  around the world," said Mark Morrison, chief executive officer and co-founder  of IDV Solutions. "It helps them to identify and assess risk and, ultimately,  to protect people and assets."</P><P>   Visual Command Center is an evolution of Visual Fusion, IDV Solutions' tool  for data visualization. Like Visual Fusion, Visual Command Center unites data  from multiple sources in the context of time and geography. Visual Command  Center adds features that specifically address security professionals' needs,  such as real-time alerting, mobile applications and the ability to display  multifloor building plans directly over building locations on a map. Also  included in Visual Command Center is a bundle of subscription and open source  data feeds selected for their relevance to security operations, including  terrorism incidents, crime reports and global disaster alerts.</P><P>   Microsoft Global Security previously deployed Visual Fusion to help protect  employees in the wake of civil unrest and political instability in Tunisia,  Egypt and Libya. The technology was used to continually check the proximity of  Microsoft office locations to the center of demonstrations; these maps then  were disseminated to Microsoft Incident Management Teams with situation  updates. Similarly, in response to the massive March 2011 Japanese earthquake,  Microsoft Global Security used Visual Fusion to check the proximity of offices  to the earthquake and tsunami disaster zones.</P><P>   "From everyday events like a burst water main to the large-scale impact of  hurricanes, earthquakes and tsunamis, situational awareness solutions such as  Visual Command Center provide an intuitive geospatial display of information,  which allows our Incident Management Teams to make more informed and precise  decisions and better prioritize efforts and resources, an absolute must in  immediate response actions," said Mike Howard, chief security officer,  Microsoft Global Security.</P><P>   The Worldwide Public Safety Symposium held March 13-15 in Redmond is  attended by government officials, policymakers and information communication  technology strategists from around the world, working together to deliver safer  communities and national security. The conversation is at #2012PSS.</P><P>   Founded in 1975, Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) is the worldwide leader in  software, services and solutions that help people and businesses realize their  full potential.</P><P>   SOURCE Microsoft Corp.</P><P>(TS:MSFT;) </P>
