What are the benefits for content providers to put their data in Dallas?
Dallas leverages content providers data in an entirely new way which creates new revenue opportunities by providing a new channel to reach Microsoft’s global developer community to build new applications with disparate data sets. Dallas provides content providers with: • Easy publication and on-boarding process regardless of blob data, structured data, or dynamic web services. Developer tooling on the Microsoft platform to ease Visual Studio and .NET development. In addition, community and ISVs can build tooling for Dallas to be used on any non-Microsoft platform. • Content discovery and integration inside Microsoft Office and SQL Server. • Scalable Microsoft cloud computing platform handles storage, delivery, billing, reporting. • Secure environment that allows content providers to grant end consumer use rights on their data to ensure they are still in control of how their data is consumed.
