Microsoft is Pitching the Xbox One to Companies as Justifiable Business Expense
Microsoft is really pitching the Xbox One as a all-in-one device. They are trying to sell the Xbox One to small businesses as a useful tool in day-to-day operations because of apps like Skype and SkyDrive. Microsoft’s Marquest Lyons discussed it in a blog.
Lyons had this to say in his blog, “As the owner of a small business, you find great value in your computer and your phone. Between the two of them you are prepped for presentations, up to date on your appointments and able to create documents with relative ease. However, let me throw another device into that mix: The Xbox One.
“What is being positioned as an excellent entertainment device can be just as enticing for you and your small business. In fact, it’s entirely justifiable to make the Xbox One a business expense.
“The Xbox One, priced at $499, is an affordable option for small business owners, as there are many features built into the console that could help it rival even the most modest of video conferencing and networking platforms.”
More apps are to come according to Lyons.
“The app story of Xbox One has yet to be written, therefore it is entirely possible to find apps down the road that could be of benefit for you and your business. With the processing power, snap mode, and connection to a large screen, that the Xbox One has, this device is capable of going from the ‘break room’ to the ‘board room’.”
