GE is reshaping its business by combining its industrial expertise with digital capabilities, and the Microsoft cloud is a core part of that shift. By using Office 365 and Windows 10, GE connects software and sensors to its machines so they become more connected, responsive, and predictive.

This digital foundation helps GE move from simply operating machines to understanding and acting on the data those machines generate. As a result, the company can rethink how it designs, maintains, and improves equipment, while giving employees modern tools to collaborate and make decisions faster.

GE uses Office 365 to digitally enable its 300,000-person workforce so employees can access information, communicate, and collaborate from virtually anywhere.

With Office 365, teams can:

• Make sense of machine data by sharing insights, dashboards, and reports across teams and locations.
• Realize productivity gains through cloud-based email, document sharing, and real-time co-authoring.
• Collaborate securely using enterprise-grade security and compliance features built into the Microsoft cloud.

This combination helps GE employees spend less time managing files and more time acting on data and solving business challenges.

With the Microsoft cloud, GE is rethinking how teams come together and work. Using Office 365 collaboration tools, teams can form dynamically around projects or problems, regardless of where employees are located.

This means GE employees can:

• Quickly assemble cross-functional teams to address specific customer or operational needs.
• Share documents, data, and insights in real time instead of relying on slow, email-only workflows.
• Work together more effectively to tackle some of the world’s toughest industrial and operational challenges.

By enabling fast, secure collaboration at scale, GE is reshaping its culture into one that encourages curiosity, data-driven decisions, and continuous improvement.
