The competitor bashing volume is surely turned up even higher at MGX. Here's hoping Microsoft has something to show its troops, regarding what's coming on the Windows slate front We now know Hewlett Packard hasn't dropped plans for its Windows 7 slate but Asus has dropped its plans for a Windows Embedded Compact one. Microsoft needs to show existing and potential customers why Windows 7 slates are worth waiting for and supposedly better than the iPad I've changed the way I charge my iPhone.

Big impact Over the course of the last year, Microsoft CityNext has established an impressive list of customer references. In Buenos Aires, for instance, a mobile app has been developed to help citizens view and monitor local traffic. The good news is that cities and city leaders are learning more about the power of collaboration with citizens, and businesses.

Partners adding value to CityNext Of course, Microsoft is not achieving this success by itself. More than solutions and services providers are now recognised as official Microsoft CityNext partners and this is growing by the day. Cherkis references partners such as Bismart, which deployed a city dashboard and big data analytics platform in Barcelona, Spain, last year, giving the city near real-time insight into structured and unstructured data so that it can enhance services and business opportunities, improve safety, and boost collaboration with its citizens and businesses.

He wants to know how, during his term as mayor, he can put measures in place to look after the city for the long run. What we want to have happen is that CityNext becomes not just a public sector approach; it needs to be something that is about public sector, commercial and consumer. After all, citizens are consumers too. This initiative brings business communities together, because cities are run by governments but they live because of the interaction between consumers, the private sector and the public sector.

A stand-out approach When asked what makes CityNext stand out compared to other public sector strategies delivered by competitors, Cherkis explains that Microsoft has a longer term view on how it impacts cities. China is just one country where Microsoft is taking its people-first approach to build strategic partnerships and be part of the infrastructure from the ground up, rather than being just part of the retrofit.

Cherkis also indicated that Microsoft would be making future organisational changes to further reinforce the growth and success of its strategy. Cherkis is also excited about developing more strategic partnerships and creating open standards to expand on the great work being done through CityNext.
