Announcing Azure Purview and the general availability of Azure Synapse, providing every organization with the critical tools to build analytical and predictive power.

Today, we announced new capabilities to help every organization harness the full power of their data. Here are highlights from my remarks, and you can watch the full event here:

This year in particular has shown why the public sector is so important to every facet of our society and economy, and we’re expanding our government cloud capabilities to help government institutions adapt to new ways of work and better serve the public.

To more evenly spread economic opportunity and resilience, we must democratize tech intensity by empowering citizen developers in every organization. Here’s a piece I wrote with @marcoiansiti  explaining why this is more urgent than ever.

We’re thrilled to be teaming up with @KingJames , Bugs Bunny, and @spacejammovie  to promote computer education and empower a new generation of innovators.

It’s great to see our teams coming together to help spread joy and build community with the new Starbucks app in Microsoft Teams, @Kevin_Johnson .

Today, we’re making additional commitments to help schools, workers, and nonprofits in Washington state get the resources they need to recover from the impact of COVID-19.

In every community, in every country, and across every industry we’ve seen people step up to help keep the world moving forward in 2020. Their impact makes me optimistic about what’s ahead.

Professional and citizen developers have been key to business continuity over the last year. As @amandaksilver  shares, we need to help them collaborate and scale to drive business performance and innovation going forward.
