Microsoft appears to have moved on from two of its most loyal and enthusiastic “customers”.
The firms Redmond has shunned are called “Contoso” and “Fabrikam”, which for decades served as the subject of fictional case studies used in product demos and educational material.
Microsoft describes Contoso as “a multinational business with its headquarters in Paris. The company is a manufacturing, sales, and support organization with more than 100,000 products.”
Whatever Contoso’s needs, Microsoft’s products are a perfect fit. Every project the company runs with Microsoft products and partners finishes on time, within budget, and delivers amazing return on investment.
