businesses
Stockholm – July 13th, 2016 – Millicom’s Tigo Business brand and Microsoft today

computing benefits to businesses in the Latam region. The partnership will

this partnership under the “as a service” model.

the needs of small and medium size businesses.  Microsoft Office 365, among
other CSP solutions, will deliver businesses collaboration and productivity
