For companies interested in purchasing a Microsoft Surface Hub, Redmond has also introduced a 'Try and Buy' programme that allows resellers to let customers test the device for xxx days before committing to buy. The plan will get live this winter in the US and Europe. Users can test either the 55- or 84in device before making a buy conclusion.

Microsoft is also working on a program that will let users work with resellers to implement custom installations of the Surface Hub dubbed 'Value Added Distributors for Opportunity Resellers' or VADOR. For example: customers and resellers can design distinct audio/visual setups for big briefing rooms or customers can work with these distributors to provide continuous preparation for their corresponding workforces. The intent is for customers to work with ane specific partner to buy, install, railroad train employees, and customise use cases for the Microsoft Surface Hub, co-ordinate to Julia Atalla, Senior Managing director of Surface Commercial Marketing at Microsoft.

New Features

The Surface Hub will now include inking support beyond Word, Excel, and PowerPoint as well as support for simultaneous Pen and Touch on. Microsoft's PowerBI, OneDrive, and Photos applications will at present be pre-loaded onto every Microsoft Surface Hub.

Microsoft said it is ramping up sales of the The states$viii,999, 55in Full Hd model and the U.s.$21,999, 84in 4K model. Today'south announcement comes at an important time for the manufacturer. Last month, Google introduced its own collaboration kiosk—Google Jamboard—a console concept that is built on the Google G Suite collaboration platform.

Google Jamboard is an unabashed Microsoft Surface Hub competitor. However, it is also simply United states$6,000 and it comes standard with 55in 4K monitor. This means Microsoft will be facing stiff contest for customers who oasis't tied themselves to the Windows ecosystem.

If planned right, Google Jamboard is scheduled to be released at some bespeak in 2022.
